What is the attraction to iPhones? Please?

They coined the term iSheep for a reason . Ok, to be serious, I think there are four types of phone buyers. 1. Wealthy and uninformed who don't have the time to do research and will go with the low risk option; 2. Poor and uninformed iSheep; 3. Informed and open minded; 4. Informed fanboy.

Groups (1), (2) and (4) will buy the iPhone. That leaves group 3 who will buy Androids because they like features and not getting gouged for those features. Unfortunately for Android, Apple has the formula down: Make it pretty and market it well, and they will come in droves. Android is still a techhead's phone. It is undoubtedly superior but most people are not power users or want to do the research. And doing research on mobile phones is tough because there is so much deliberate obfuscation by the carriers and by Apple. My 2 cents.
