Android are not a copy of iPhones, such an argument is insane especially considering the last iOS patch was purely to implement features already existing in Android...
If you really just want basic designs, then you would use a Nokia.
i have a samsung galaxy s and an iphone 3gs
android copied the OS and made some changes you can easily tell from the layout
the iphone 3gs made me hate apple since it died and cause such a issue but i love my android phone way more just cause its easier
