Used to be a diehard iPhone fan since 07. Switched to android in 11 and I love it.
The difference between android and iOS: iOS is like living in a nice hotel. You don't have a lot of choice but it looks nice and easy to use.
Android is like buying your own home. Buy an really nice home (android device) and you will probably love it. You can change and customize it however you want. It's yours! You can also buy cheap.

Easiest Explanation EVER To Explain Root Vs Jailbreak

Think of it like the Matrix: iOS Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them.
===========================
Rooting gives you the keys to the kingdom, to remodel your own home as you please.
