Meh, I have a nexus and the wife has an iphone. They both have had their fair share of problems. I think its a little crazy to say, in 2013, that the android line is this unstable phone and if you're a sysadmin on call then you must have an iphone because its so super reliable. I'm a sysadmin, I do fine with android, thanks.
Nowhere did I say the iPhone was perfect or the Android was horrible. I was commenting on the battery life. My only phone right now is an Android phone and I enjoy using it. Because of the iPhones locked down nature and limit on background processes it is much less likely to be killed by a rogue process draining the battery. This has been my experience and others I know with other Android phones (including the Nexus).
Regardless of which device you like to use, ignoring its faults doesn't help them get fixed.
