Sofi, I'd say go for whatever feels good to you. You already use MacOS on your computer so I assume you like the Apple experience. I use Android because I genuinely like it. I feel like I can do anything with my phone and that's awesome. A friend wants to send me files via wifi on our university - great. A friend of mine has free 3g internet and we're on a trip - he hosts a wifi hotspot for everyone that I can use. I need to charge my phone or transfer some files at friend's house? No problem. - usb,bluetooth ,wifi file transfer - whatever you prefer. I need to download anything, I don't like anything about my app drawer or something, I just change it. I love that about Android. I genunely dislike what Iphones feel like to me, and I love the comfort of having an Android phone that just works and does everything I want it to without worrying about limitations.
When I have to use an Iphone it takes more time to figure out how to do something that I could easily do on an Android phone and sometimes I'm stuck realizing that it's impossible. I also genuinely dislike the fact that there's one physical button and far less transparent UI controls.
I think you might need to spend more time with Iphones, maybe even get one for a moment if you really like them. You'll either change your mind about Iphones and realize that what you thought wasn't just you trying to convince yourself to liking a product that deep inside isn't as appealing to you or have a product that you'll like more. I always pick the phone that I just like the most, and one that would work better for me.
However I confess that most "dumbed down" software solutions don't work well for me, because I think in system paths, processes and file extensions when using an operating system and I'd hate an OS that would think that it does something better than I would (like grouping files in a different way than by folders, launching and closing apps randomly etc.). I know exactly what I want and I'd love a system that allows me to take full control of it. That's ironically part of the reason why I don't like some things about Android, but cusom ROMS and the ICS update is a move in the right direction and frankly, there's no mobile OS that would work better for me.
Also I feel like I'm relatively limited with Android hardware choices because there's no perfect package, so I have to pick whatever is the closest to my needs. With Iphone 4S I'd be extremely limited with an old-school screen and outdated design. And I'd be paying a huge premium for no gain whatsoever. There's seriously nothing that could justify switching to iOS for me. I could justify getting it in form of an Ipad if I needed a tablet but I'd have different uses for a tablet and the Ipad is really good hardware-wise - it's actually better than most high-end Android tablets.
If you feel like you could seriously enjoy iOS more, give it a try, really.
