   Hi nospam,   
      
   Name just one.   
      
   As always, the challenge is to name a "functionality" that you claim is on   
   iOS that you claim is not on Android.   
   o Name just one   
      
   For example, on Android there's the ability to graphically display WiFi   
   signal strength for all visible access points over time.   
   o That functionality doesn't exist in any iOS app on the App Store.   
      
   As another example, on Android, there's the ability to automatically record   
   phone calls simply by loading an app and setting it up once.   
   o That functionality doesn't exist in any iOS app on the App Store.   
      
   As another example, on Android, there's the ability to set the homescreen   
   grid to any number of rows and column, with or without a dock, which itself   
   can be set to any number of items, where items can be replicated in   
   multiple locations and where all app icon names can be what _you_ want them   
   to be.   
   o That functionality doesn't exist in any iOS app on the App Store.   
      
   HINT: This list of what iOS apps can't do goes on for a very long time...   
      
   Since you claim the reverse is also true, all you need to do to prove that   
   your _entire_ belief system isn't completely imaginary, is...   
   o Name just one.   
      
   Given your claim that there is functionality on iOS that isn't on Android,   
   to prove that your entire belief system isn't based on exactly zero (0)   
   facts, all you need to do is...   
   o Name just one.   
      
   Don't play silly games around "branding", e.g., by saying "iMessage"...   
   o Let's talk about actual _functionality_ available in the app store.   
      
   o *How many functionalities do you perform, every day, on Android,*   
     *that are impossible on iOS [and vice versa]?*   
      
      
   Name one app functionality that you claim is on iOS that isn't on Android.   
   o Name just one   
   --   
   There's a good reason why there's likely no app functionality on iOS that   
   isn't on Android; but you first have to come to that realization before you   
   can begin to ponder what that simple reason for that is.
