1. UI and OS
iOS best to use out from the box from the moment i brought it, no need config this config that, not all the people in the world knows flash this rom flash that rom for stability speed etc... i did that alot previous till the point i tired with that and not actually enjoy using the phone...
2. apps
anyway people can afford rm2000 phone but cannot afford paid apps, its up to them. If developers work so hard for apps and people just JB to take for granted, who want continue to develop apps. Actually we pay for what we get, either in money, time, or via ads... nothing is free in this world...
3. source code
i normal user i no need this
4. screen
big size is definitely good for browsing, email, video etc.... but it is up to personal, i dont like oversize phone (>6"), i hope in future there will be more phone is around size minimum 4" (iphone 5) - maximum 5"(galaxy S4). actually i think best size is around 4.5" (to hold well with one hand and stay good in pocket)
resolution is not important as long as the image is clear, good image reproduction, in cell display, ips etc... best display is actually the image is more look like good quality poster/photo...
5. camera
definitely i can say even iphone 5 cannot satisfy me, i take a lot photos with my phone, see tmr what new generation iphones offers, i hope for 13 mp, auto image stabilize, f/1.8 or better, better low light etc...

We will play this game politely and civilly.
iOS has repeatedly said their "highly curated user experience" ie "I will lead you by the nose and you cannot stray out of the path" is the best that everybody wants. So there is obviously a percentage of people who like it.
Android says "here go and do whatever you want". Which means you can. If you don't want to it's fine too.
Having said that, the customize-this-customize-that thing CAN cause some things to break, resulting in lags or FC. I did some ROM flashing but ultimately settled on rooted stock with Xposed Framework for some small tweaks. Going strong so far.
My wife's S3 has been on stock since day 1 and never rooted. With some judicious app management, there is no lag discernible on the S3 either.
Only those who have an itch in a certain part of the anatomy for installing

apps will run a high risk of FC, lags or sudden unknown charges on their bills. This can happen regardless of iOS or Android.
