I don't even jailbreak my phone. I've never really found a need to. I just make sure to delete **** that i don't need and close apps that i don't need open. Any OS needs free space. Most people fill their phones up with useless free apps, music, pictures, and everything under the sun. Then they leave everything open so it's constantly looking for an internet connection, gps signal, or whatever. All this does is use up all available RAM and scratch disk space. I'd imagine it's not just an Apple user issue, but the same for any mobile OS that allows background apps. Users are too dumb to close **** down, then complain that their battery doesn't last for ****, their phone is slow, and their data usage is ridiculously high. Stupid users are what give any mobile OS a bad name.
I'll add one more key issue based on my experience owning Android and Apple phones
Make sure you NEVER depend on the service provider to provide the phone OS upgrades. They have little to no incentive to upgrade your current hardware with a new version of OS because they want you to buy a new phone.
Most Android users are stuck in this position while iPhone users are not. Android's success depends on Google addressing this well documented issue.
But iPhone users are limited to one hardware platform choice. I hope Apple addresses form factor choices but it does not seem to impact sales.
As long as you are able to pull updates anytime they are made available by the manufacturer then either system should provide good service for the typical three year contract period. Practical upshot... Buy Apple or "Google" product for the best support/eco system experience.... no guarantee but a good precaution.
I was on Android but for now I'm on an iPhone 4S

I've had an android phone since evo 4g, for the time it came out it wasn't a bad phone. I then had a nexus s 4g and that was a big improvement from the evo and the battery life was amazing. Now I have a Samsung galaxy s3, and sorry no iPhone gets close to how good this phone is. No battery problems at all, my phone can easily last 2 days if needed. Battery life was a problem with older android phone and dumb users who leave GPS, blue tooth, 4g, WiFi... on all the time. If I wanted to I could buy an extra battery for my phone and actually use it. I can buy a micro sd card for more space, I have a 16gb sd plus 16 gb internal. I could have bought a 64gb or 32gb sd card and keep my same phone, no bs with upgrading phone like iPhone. And I don't have to go through rooting or jail breaking my phone to download any app I want for free. Does iPhone have Swype? C'mon.

Android still leads the pack in terms of pure penetration — as of this past June, it accounts for 51.8% of smartphones in use (up from 50.4% in Q1 2012) with Apple’s iOS right behind it at 34%.
Don’t feel too bad for Apple though, as they still have the highest smartphone manufacturer share by far (34% in Q2), with Samsung at a distant second.
NetMarketShare’s June report, meanwhile, showed the combination of iPhone and iPad give iOS a peerless position among its mobile computing rivals: 65.27 percent of all mobile phone and tablet computers combined use Apple’s operating system. Android took a distant second place with 19.73 percent.
NetMarketShare’s report also demonstrated the challenge ahead for Microsoft as it prepares to take on the iPad with its new Surface tablet: The company’s two mobile operating systems – Windows Phone and Windows Mobile – combined for just 0.69 percent of the market

We live in interesting times! Blackberry(RIM) and Windows(Microsoft) relegated to the past and a fight surprisingly similar to MS vs. Apple; two computing models but this time in the mobile environment.
Of course Apple could just take over Google with cash on hand...

Here's what you really need to know about Microsoft's fourth-quarter financial results: the company has 93 percent market share of the past, but only 4 percent of the future.

It is up to the user to close unwanted apps... Just like it works for OSX, Unix and Windows machines.
Advice to users: Read the manual and stop bitching!
To close any app:
Double click home
press and hold any of the icons shown
tap the red circled minus on the icons you wish to close
I'm running an app called Sys-Activity to track processes, memory use and battery performance.
As configured I have 31 processes running on my iPhone at the minimum. Phone and mail always run plus update processes for latitude, inrix, WiFi, notifiers etc.
Stand-by as configured is 200 hrs
Talk time 14 hrs

Apple has well over 100 Billion dollars in cash which is more than enough to buy controlling interest in Google

After generating $37.9 billion in cash, short and long-term equivalents in 2011, and a record $16 billion in Q4 alone (of which $11.8 billion in Long-Term Marketable Securities: Treasurys? Pretty soon Apple will be a bigger monetization force than the Fed), the company's total cash and equivalents horde is now just shy of $100 billion, or $97.6 billion. And with cash growing at 20% in the quarter, extrapolating into the future, means that the company will hit $1 trillion in cash by Q1 2015.
