I've made apps for Android and iPhone. The iPhone crashes less. I've found in a lot of cases that null pointer exceptions that usually would kill an Android app and handled silently by iPhone because in Objective-C passing a message (calling a function) on a null value is just ignored. I wonder how many other iPhone apps have avoided crashing because of this behavior.
