Cellular access for the Evo is now at 4G while the iPhone only has 3G cellular access. Both can store up to 32 GB, although the Evo currently comes with an 8 GB micro SD card. Both phones have dual cameras although the Android has the better primary camera at 8 megapixels compared to the iPhone's 5-megapixel primary camera. Video editing capabilities of the new iPhone(30 frames per second with built-in editing) slightly edge out the Evo(25 frames per second).
