All the apps on the iPhone will be coming from a single App Store, whereas
the Android phone might have apps coming from anywhere, not just Google.

The iPhone owner will always have a privacy robbing account on the Apple
servers where an Android owner might not have that privacy robbing account.

However, most people have that privacy robbing server account - in which
case both Apple & Google make it easy to copy your old apps & their data.

If the Android user was intelligent enough to put all his data on the
sdcard, everything (even downloaded maps) works perfect on the new phone.

None of that is possible on iPhones because they can't do portable sd data.
