Right, but I can counter your anecdote with my own. All of the iPhone users I know are like your Droid users. They use their iPhone for 1) making phone calls 2) checking e-mail 3) browsing the web. None have jailbroken their iPhone or installed more than 10 apps.
I contrast that with the Android users I know (including myself). I know of only one user who is still on a stock ROM. I don't know of any that have less than 15 apps.
If you haven't figured it out yet, most of the iOS users I know are older adults who value simplicity and ease of use. Most of the younger people I know value Android and are more than willing to accept a slightly higher initial complexity for vastly greater control. That's why I asked for data, specifically. It's very easy to draw incorrect conclusions by extrapolating from your own worldview, simply because your friends tend to be like you.
The only comparison I've seen between Android and iOS users is this (http://www.bgr.com/2011/06/17/smartphone-data-usage-jumps-89...) 9 month old study comparing the data usage between Android and iPhone users, and that actually stated that Android users consume more data than iPhone users. So, given that, I don't see how anyone can confidently assert that iPhone users use their phones more heavily than Android users. The (admittedly weak) data tells us the opposite, if it tells us anything at all.
Anecdote: the Android users I see are either: a) engineer types (high end device, many apps) or b) majority lower-income (cheap device, few or no apps)
