What is the attraction to iPhones? Please?

What is the attraction to iPhones? Please?
Firstly, let's get one thing straight. I'm not very fond of Apple. At all. Specifically the iPhone.
However, I am a reasonable person, so...
I have looked deeply into iPhones, and while I have never owned one, I have owned an iPod touch, and demo'ed an iPhone for hours on end, along with researching the hardware for weeks.
When the iPhone 4S came out, it was understandable for people to buy it, even go crazy for it.
It was (although I never quite fell for it it.) "The next big thing", an innovation and a huge step into tech.
Whatever they said.
Anyway, 8 months on, the day I receive my Samsung Galaxy SIII, I'm reading through some phone questions here.
I come across "What is the best phone out at the moment?". Which is a silly question, because I understand there is no "best" phone.
However, 8 of the 14 answers included iPhone 4 OR 4S in their answer.
I'm sorry?
57% of people who answered the question still think the iPhone 4S (and even the 4!) is still the best phone out?
I understand that it is the best IPHONE out, and they may be due a new release, but that does not change the fact people still voted for it.
Why...?
Is it because of the smaller screen?
The skimpy processor?
The jail-like operating system?
The obsolete camera? (No, iPhone users. Instagram is NOT just yours.)
The opportunity to use Bluetooth or NFC to transfer files? (Oh.. Wait.. No.)

Now, yes, I've had a little rage.
Because I really, really cannot see what makes people see this phone as the best.
Are they misinformed? Apple-Brainwashed?
Or (And god forbid) do they genuinely think that the iPhone 4S is still a contender?

Now, I'm hoping for some hardcore tech heads to reply back here, I'm even hoping for a little argument, but if there any any Apple "Fanboys" out there who are going to reply to tell me that 3.5"+ for a screen is too big (Maybe your hands are too small? It's not too big, you're just used to tiny screens), or Quad-core processors belong solely in spaceships, or that android is Open-source, therefore bad (What!?) please, save your time.
I'm looking for someone who is not sucked into to the Apple army, and can see both sides of the story reasonably, to explain to me the appeal..
It just seems obsolete.
I need someone who genuinely knows what their talking about.
Cardina, I think you've got it there really.
Just un-informed.. People who can't be bothered to look into anything else.
But my question is why? Why be happy with something that is just more money for less..?

And Who is Jack, you said "You do realise people choose to buy the iPhone and are not forced into it".
Yes, I do.
Why?
Why do they buy it if they're NOT forced into it!?
I'm not talking about which phone has more sales or whatever.
Why do people still consider the iPhone 4S to be the best phone?

It's funny how they're not answering this.
It's looking like a best answer for you Cardina.
Mis-informed people, with no rational explanation.
