Not only is the iPhone a dumb terminal that has nothing by way of functionality that Android didn't have on free phones years ago,
but you can't update iOS and then load & test an APK in the

real world

like this Pia Hong Usenet newsreader was recently improved that

way.

Compare the brain-dead functionality of NewsTap, for example, to
that of this PiaHong Android Usenet Newsreader recently improved.

Such useful collaborative work on old apps no longer updated by

their

developers is impossible with iOS and yet - it's rather common on

Android.

Which is why Android does hundreds of useful things that iOS can't

do, and

yet, there's nothing whatsoever by way of functionality that iOS

does that

Android doesn't already do (usually on an old free Android phone

too!).

The reason iOS is brain dead compared to Android is both obvious

& simple:

a. Most functionality is provided by developers
b. Apple severely restricts what developers can provide
c. Google can't.

Even when Apple provides an app (such as the iOS camera app),

there's no

competition, so again, iOS is brain dead within apps compared to

Android.

The end result shows why iOS devices don't actually work in the

real world.

iOS is for people who do not know computers. That
is the Apple way. It is literally based off Steve Jobbs association
with women after he made it big. Like his daughters mother whom he
called a $#$@. People like that who sleeps around and goes partying.
That is what Apple is really about. Computers for non computer people.


OSX ( even now ) runs on a form of Unix called BSD. Apple licensed it
out, so they could have as much support and have no problems in the
future. Might as well just learn Linux and install Ubuntu and ignore
Apple all together unless you like checks after checks in your
software.

Apple ( Jobbs ) wanted control. He saw the future. You do not pay for
the ownership of the software just the usage of it.


........................

What is funny is how many people are porting there iOS apps to Android
and PC and watching their sales actually rise. iOS is like saying
"I am a Linux user and do not even know it", where android
admits that it is Linux at some parts of it's execution.
Is iOS in your Smart-TV's ? NO. Is iOS a desktop system now gone
portable ? Nope.
