    *iOS ===> designed for a technically incompetent consumer base*

    Otherwise, Apple wouldn't have promoted the "it just works" campaign.

    Meanwhile, iOS does NOT work for thousands (upon thousands!) of very useful functional things that _every_ other consumer OS easily does.

    But which so few consumers care about that they buy iPhones anyway!

    In summary, the iPhone is a child's toy - but if that's all

    Consumers want devices that do what they say they will do...

    ...and the Apple iPhone does what it says.

    When low-information consumers set the bar low enough.

    Do you want to be able to set the timing on your car, "News"?

    Static set, dynamic mapped, 'wace dwiber'

    You failed to answer my question...

    ...but failure is the default option for you, isn't it?

    My answer was accurate. I don't need to set the timing on my car.

    LOL... Nobody needs or wants it, you say? Go figure! 🤣

    But by your own argument against the iPhone, the fact that you can't
    is a drawback.

    Your a "low-information consumer" when it comes to cars.

    There you go. 100% on form.

    Feel free to fuck yourself in your Miata, asshole.

    LOL! Apple-hating trolls get *so* emotional when their own statements
    get thrown back in their faces! Little "News" got his filthy panties all twisted when someone showed him he meets the definition of a
    "low-information consumer", and I'm here for it! 🤣

    It's what you do well. Every trolling day.

    Mindless projection is what we've come to expect form people like you.
    Do carry on.

    *LOGIC:*
    Given every useful functionality I stated is on _all_ other operating
    systems _except_ iOS, there must be people who want it and who need it.

    Sorry, but that doesn't follow...

    ...not with operating systems.
