   Hi Poutnik,   
      
   *I think adults should _understand_ the astoundingly huge differences!*   
      
   Since you're an adult, you _can_ comprehend what I'm going to say, which is   
   that I instantly comprehend what you said, but I think there is a HUGE   
   variant to what you said that the "pros and cons" doesn't cover at all.   
      
   In terms of file system storage, I agree instantly that iOS does things   
   very differently than does Android, so there are 'pros and cons' that one   
   can debate as an adult.   
      
   In terms of the "walled garden ecosystem", again, I agree instantly that   
   iOS does things differently, which enables one to discuss the various pros   
   and cons, which we can debate as adults.   
      
   In terms of 'app gui', again we can instantly agree that iOS does things   
   differently, where, again, as adults, we can debate the various pros and   
   cons between how iOS manages the app GUI.   
      
   Even in terms of the 'app store', we can instantly agree that iOS does   
   things differently, where adults can debate the difference.   
      
   Likewise, in terms of software updates, we can again instantly agree that   
   iOS does things differently than Android, where we can debate the pros and   
   cons.   
      
   However ... and this is a HUGE DEAL Poutnik... there are some places where   
   there are only CONS with iOS. There are no pros.   
      
   *Lack of typical hardware & overall app functionality are 100% cons in iOS!   
      
   Notice this is an _IMPORTANT POINT_ Poutnik!   
   o It takes adult intelligence to _comprehend_ this point, Poutnik.   
      
   Hence, I never expect apologists like nospam to comprehend this key point.   
   o But I do expect ADULTS to comprehend this key point, Poutnik.   
      
   For example, _many_ Android devices have the following:   
   o Expansion card slot   
   o Removable battery   
   o FM radio   
   etc.   
      
   Where _none_ of the iOS devices have those hardware features.   
   o Hence, in lack of hardware, there are only cons with iOS   
      
   Here is the adult "set" of hardware questions to ask of you Poutnik:   
   Q1: Can you name a single hardware functionality on iOS phones that is not   
   already on Android phones, Poutnik?   
      
   If you can't, then it's clear that in terms of hardware functionality, in   
   the case of the expansion card, removable battery, FM radio, and to a   
   lesser extent on newer phones the "courageous" headphone jack (and in the   
   future, with respect to fast 5G technology), there are only cons with the   
   current iOS based hardware.   
      
   Worse, in terms of app *functionality*, there are only "cons" in that there   
   is NOTHING (except a single API) anyone has _ever_ found that is on iOS   
   that isn't ALREADY on Android, and, as noted prior, there is _tons_ of   
   functionality on Android that isn't on iOS.   
      
   Hence, I posit for many things, there _are_ pros & cons between iOS &   
   Android, but when it comes to key missing hardware features, and when it   
   comes to app functionality, there are _ONLY CONS_ with iOS.   
      
   In short, when it comes to missing hardware & missing app functionality,   
   it's not a "pro or con" situation.   
      
   As an adult who is cognizant of both facts & logic, I posit clearly that...   
   *There are only CONS for iOS for those two critical components!*   
      
   Do you agree or disagree on _that_ point Poutnik?   
   o If you disagree ... please provide evidence for that disagreement as   
   I'm a person who builds a belief system based wholly on evidence.   
      
   *I think adults should _understand_ the astoundingly huge differences!*
