In all likelihood the iPhone version had a substantially larger budget and more experienced coders, due to both its age and popularity.
Feel free to suggest that there are many half-arsed Android applications out there, but it's kind of disgusting to attack the platform design without knowing anything about it.

Lol, chill dude, no need to get so heated. Yes i dont disagree that the apps may be written by different teams but i am not referring to small firms. My 2 examples would be
1) Facebook app written by Facebook. I find it difficult to believe that FB would not commit equal or similar resources or infact have totally unconnected dev teams developing their app for different platforms. Maybe you know indepth on this.
2) Google app written for iphone (cant find a comparison for android). I know its cosmetic but i really liked the voice searching thing that google released for iphone. Cant seem to find it on android.
Essentially, if you disagree with my statement that for like-for-like iphone vs android apps do not have any substantial difference then we will just have to agree to disagree. I am not dissing android, theres a reason why i spent money and signed myself to a long term contract for this phone and platform. I have never owned or expect to own an iphone but i have to honestly say the stuff on iphone is alot cleaner and professional.
