   What's happening is the iOS lovers _hate_ that iOS is a crippled OS.   
      
   The fact remains of the lack of graphical wifi and cellular debugging tools   
   on iOS which clearly are on all other operating systems _except_ iOS.   
      
   iPhone lovers will defend this crippled lack of functionality to the death.   
   Hence, they're "blind" to everything about either iOS or Android proving it.   
      
   Worse, as you noted, they _twist_ what was said to suit their desperation.   
      
   They're _desperate_ to find something (anything) iOS can do that Android   
   does all the time given there is so much the crippled iOS _can't_ do that   
   Android does.   
      
   They even twisted my words given I never said OBDII wasn't on iOS because   
   they're _desperate_ to defend the crippled iPhone any way they possibly can.   
      
   Here is _exactly_ what I said (verbatim):

     Keeping with the car analogy, it's like OBD testers exist on all platforms   
     except on the iOS platform because Apple, for some reason, would hate   
     OBDII.   
      
     Many useful utilities are on all platforms _except_ the iOS platform.   
     Graphical cellular signal debuggers are yet another example not on iOS.   
      
     *The toy iOS isn't actually useful for _anything_ other than playing*   
     *games.*   
      
   I was using analogies, and yet, what you are seeing is how the iPhone lovers   
   responded in their increasing desperation to defend the clearly crippled   
   nature of the lack of graphical wifi and cellular debugging tools on iOS   
   which are on all other operating systems _except_ iOS.   
      
   The fact remains that to own an iPhone is to own a crippled handheld device.   
   Only on iOS are graphical wifi & cellular debuggers not available to all.
