The company "looked at data from 722,558 problem reports listed on the site, and combined that information with market share data from StatCounter to create an ultimate reliability score for each smartphone manufacturer," says Mash.
Apple beat out Samsung, Nokia and Motorola handily.

completely BS data. if you think about android smartphones (or even other OS smartphones), it has different markets, low-end smartphones always get rough-used, misused, and abused; and they are way higher in number than high-end android smartphones. on the other hand, iphones are always expensive, and therefore, buyers always use it more carefully, hence, way less issues and complaints.
you can only compare reliability when you give same treatment to both the phones.

I've heard the Genius Bar has quite a bit to do with it.

Iphone users don't even complain when the cheap screen shatters...gotta wonder about the reporting from such users. As for battery life, at least you can do something about it with most android phones. That said, android does have big problems on the manufacturer side. If all androids were nexus and we didn't need to wait for carriers to issue updates it would be much better for the average user.

Most iphone owners I know usually stop repairing the phone after the 2nd times as they can't be bothered paying to fix it up all the time.

Is bitching about features or lack of an indicator of reliability then?

My cousin went through 4 or 5 iPhone 4's before she gave up on it. Started with a defective one and they just kept replacing it with defective ones lol
Just from my personal experience and my friends' and family's (although it'd be a sin if they admitted any faults), this survey is complete BS. I don't understand how they can play this as a realistic survey.

Meanwhile, any report that makes Apple look bad MUST be true. ;-)

Yeah it seems there are fanboys of other phones on here saying this is not true...... because it is apple that gets a good report!
But yet they agree with any report that makes apple look bad.
That is also crap!

I repeat... why is the report not based on actual breakdowns and repairs???
Simple bitching does NOT constitute reliability you MUST see that.

This "reliability" report is as reliable as their interpretation of the word reliable. :D

Not trying to be a fanboy here ( disclaimer : I own an iPhone 5 ,my first smartphone) but maybe it's not that iPhones are more reliable. Maybe it's just that more iPhone users buy heavy duty cases for their phones than android users do. It's a really expensive investment and protecting it should be a top priority. When I look at the Sunday paper and see all the android phones for free in the best buy ads it just seems like they would be cheaper to replace than an iPhone. Most people I know that own iPhones have them in cases. I'm not trying to enter a debate, just adding a different perspective. Seems like all the apple haters just love jumping on articles like this.

I have had two iphones, one mouth piece stopped working and the secont the ear piece stopped working, ive got the galaxy s2 and not even thinking about the s4 or s3 for that matter until i get restricted from what apps work, aslong as apps work, i can make and receive calls/texts and use tinternet 3g/wifi then its all good unless it breaks
