   You assume the gullible will believe what you just make up.   
      
   For example, even you know that a MP4 video in the default iOS video app's   
   document space is not available to any FTP server on iOS WITHOUT   
   jailbreaking.   
      
   I know you know this because you're not as stupid as what you say   
   indicates.   
      
   You just don't like the fact that nobody on this planet, not even you, can   
   find a *single* app functionality that iOS has that Android doesn't already   
   have, while we've listed, many times, dozens of functionality that Android   
   has that iOS can't hope to have.   
      
   Simple things that we do every day on Android, are impossible on iOS - and   
   you just don't like that. Things like running any app launcher, or   
   automatic call recording, or graphical display of wifi signal strength, or   
   obtaining the real tower ID of the tower you're connected to, or being able   
   to have an app icon in multiple logical places or none at all, and being   
   able to change the name of the app icon, and having a bona-fide app drawer   
   app (instead of having to make a dumb folder instead), and bit torrenting   
   apps, or setting the default app per file type, or reusing any installation   
   file on another similar device, etc.   
      
   All this (just off the top of my head) we do on Android all the time, and   
   none of it can be done with iOS without jailbreaking.   
      
   It's not that the hardware is what makes iOS devices so incapable, since   
   the hardware is actually pretty good. It's Apple who makes iOS devices so   
   incapable.   
      
   And you hate that.
