I think that they both have their market. I think that Android is
perhaps better suited to a person who is somewhat geeky and adventurous.
Not all of us are that way, and I think that the iPhone is a better
choice for someone who wants to just do stuff and not have to focus on
how you do it. I think that it's easier to get up and running with the
iPhone. To use a car analogy. If you want to simply drive the car, get
an iPhone. If you are really into how the car works, go with Android.

Yes, but comparing the iPhone and Android is not a fair comparison
because accessibility is much more developed, and Braille support is
really good on the iPhone.

The one thing I would like to point out is that, if you have an Apex or
any modern Sense notetaker, you can use it as a braille display and
keyboard with an iPhone or any other iTouch. That means that you do not
need to hear the speech when your surroundings are too noisy.
Android is not even close to such a capability; they have not touched
accessibility in the last three or four upgrades, as far as I know.
