   The lesson here is not so much that Apple also lied about locking people   
   into the barbed-wire prison garden for their safety, as everyone who is   
   intelligent is well aware Apple's safety is the worst in the industry.   
      
   What even some intelligent people don't realize, is that they lost all that   
   security by buying an iPhone and yet they didn't gain any functionality.   
      
   Other than the ability to use privileged ports, nobody on Usenet on the   
   Apple groups in the decade I've been asking the question, can find even a   
   single app functionality on iOS that isn't already long ago on Android.   
      
   Which is the point of the $35 phone comment on functionality.   
   It's not the phone. It's that iOS lacks basic functionality.   
      
   Every Android phone ever made has more app functionality than any iPhone.   
   People who focus on the price are stupid. They can't get a simple point.   
      
   Stupid people can't understand what all intelligent people already know.   
   The iPhone uses a toy operating system which drastically limits   
   functionality, which Apple says is "for your safety".   
      
   Heh heh heh... and yet, the iPhone is toxic with zero-day bugs.   
   Because iOS has the worst bugfix support in the computer industry.   
      
   Intelligent people are different than ignorant people.   
      
   Ignorant people believe every single thing fed to them.   
   Fed to them by (rather brilliant) Apple marketing.   
      
   We're not even talking that current iPhones lack the hardware that most   
   Android phones have (such as the portable memory and aux jack hardware).   
      
   We're talking basic app functionality.   
   See my comment to Arno for just a sample of that missing functionality.   
      
   Only iOS lacks such basic functionality which Apple "says" is removed "for   
   your safety" and yet, the iPhone is no more safe than any Android phone.   
      
   Fancy that.   
   Apple lied.   
      
   It used to be Apple only told the truth in court.   
   But recent events show that Apple lies even in court.   
      
   Anyone who doesn't know that Apple's support is the worst in the industry,   
   has never read the news. Anyone who thinks Apple devices are more secure,   
   has been hiding under the same rock that I accused Arno of hiding under.   
      
   These are IMPORTANT facts to be aware of.   
   Which is why I'm teaching them to you.   
      
   Your choice whether you want to move from ignorant to informed.   
   Totally up to you.   
      
   I await your educated response.
