You can say that you had a poor experience with Apple. Congratulations. I've personally only had 1 bad experience with Apple, ever. I've never had a cracked phone (except once when my mom accidentally threw it down a staircase onto tile, which would break any phone [at least it still worked]), the only phone defect I ever had (a broken sleep button) was replaced even though I didn't pay for warranty, and from a developer standpoint I'd much rather work with C than Java. Every other product I've had by them has worked better than described, I have a first-generation iPhone that boots up just fine, a first-generation Apple TV that I use frequently despite there being multiple new iterations, etc. In my opinion, Apple products are more refined than Android-based competitor products. Everything feels like it's supposed to fit together, a sensation of unity I didn't experience with my Android phone. As I said earlier, there's no accounting for taste so regardless of actual hardware:price ratio, I prefer the Apple product. You prefer the Android product. Whichever is 'better' hinges on what we value.
