   Hi Poutnik,   
   I don't think you _understood_ what I said.   
      
   Since you're an adult, you can certainly _disagree_ with what I said.   
   But it doesn't appear you _understood_ what I said.   
      
   So you can't, logically, disagree if you don't, logically, understand.   
      
   Here's what I said in two sentences:   
   1. SOME THINGS can be discussed in terms of "positives" & "negatives", but,   
   2. OTHER THINGS are only _negatives_ on iOS.   
      
   There is no "pro versus con".   
      
   As an example, if I gave you a spoon to chop down a tree,   
   and then if I gave you a chainsaw to chop down that same tree,   
   there are no positives to the spoon.   
      
   If you don't _understand_ that statement, then you don't understand what I   
   said about iOS versus Android in the two areas of   
   o Hardware   
   o Apps   
      
   I repeat:   
   o If you don't _understand_ the difference between a spoon and a chainsaw   
   for the purpose of chopping down a tree, then you didn't understand what I   
   said about there NOT being pros & cons in certain areas between Android &   
   iOS.   
      
   Poutnik,   
      
   Please don't take this post as a criticism; it's just an explanation   
   o A spoon, has no pros over   
   o A chainsaw, for the purpose of chopping down a tree.
