They can push the buttons they know to push to make things go....but they too often do it by rote rather than understanding.
Tendency (not a hard rule): iPhone tends to appeal most to rote users. Some one told them it was easy to use, so go with that, whether it's easy to use or not. They believe it is. Android tends to appeal more to people who know what they are doing from understanding and thus able to understand the things Android does better...and why that matters.
I base these observations on my own experience with my iPod Touch. I find it a pain to use. Not enough controls. Stuff that matters hidden away in places you need to go find. Pinching and squeezing all day gives me hand cramps. I want a trackball. ...and so on.
Cutting across all skill levels, though, anyone can hate iTunes....whatever their level of competence.
