Having run the gambit of smartphones (Windows Phone, WebOS (RIP), Android, and iOS), I honestly have to say that iOS has been the most fluid and polished of all the operating systems. WebOS is a close second in my mind, but it severally lacked decent hardware, development community, and marketing to support it long term.
Yes, Apple makes hoards and hoards of money on their phones, but they also make a well designed product that people enjoy using. People are paying for the reliability and consistency of iOS and it's updates as much as they're paying for the Brand.
