Welcome to the Android Forums!
Comparing an Android phone to an iPhone is like, er, well Apples to Oranges. iPhone provides it's users a very controlled experience. Change is possible within some areas of iOS... but most every phone looks pretty much the same. Even the Apple hardware is the same within generations of the iPhone.
In the Android world different manufacturers design their phones in a manner more consistent with their own goals. So long as the phone meets or exceeds the minimum requirements the manufacturer can release the phone with the Android OS installed. The OS is also designed more generically with a phone specific abstraction layer. This layer allows the phone to communicate with the different hardware and typically makes each Android installation fairly phone specific.
Which is better? Well that depends on the individual user...
