Smart phones, like Android and iOS, are mini computers. You do use them for calling, but you use them for social media, music and radio, audio books, emails, text messages, GPS, and other stuff. After a couple of months, you start to wonder how you ever managed without them.
Android and iOS are both accessible. iOS does a little better with a couple of things, mostly text editing, so if you plan to do a lot of that, the iPhone may be a better option, but for most people, the choice comes down to budget or taste. Android also has an active community and a couple of resources though I do agree that Apple people seem more organized, which makes sense: Apple lives in an ordered universe while android loves the wild.
If you are thinking about making the switch from your Haven to a touch screen device, shifting from buttons to a touch screen is an adjustment.
I remember having to get my head and hands used to not searching for physical landmarks. And learning to touch the screen correctly also takes some doing. Since your wife has an iDevice, you might practice with hers. The transition, though frustrating, is a lot easier overall if you go cold turkey. Going back and forth from the safe and known to the new thing just causes more resistance to the new.
