Why does everyone say that iPhone's are easier to use than Android?

I have both and I'm wondering as soon as I picked up both phones I knew how to use them it wasn't difficult and practically same concept why do people say that?

To someone who is new to phones an iPhone is usually more simple to use. IPhone aren't as complicated and have a less "open" system.

Because Androids are a whole lot more customizable than iPhones, which some people may be overwhelmed by. Just look at each, the iPhone has 1 front button whereas most Androids have about 4. Droid phones just look more intimidating than iPhones.
