Oh, for first-party stuff, iCloud has no advantage. It's for _third_ party stuff that it's valuable; it allows developers to sync _their_ data seamlessly between devices easily.

Yep, that is definitely leg up for iCloud I hadn't considered.

Developers can write their own sync adapters on Android, but they would need to run their own servers (or find storage) and complications start to add up from there.
