    The funny thing is that only the iOS users complain about their messaging
    app. I haven't heard a single Android user ever complain about theirs.

    Mine does, for example, everything any iPhone user could hope for that
    matters, and, guess what - it doesn't require an account on Google servers.

    There's never been anything, in fact, that an iPhone does that even a five
    year old free Android phone can't do - almost always better with more
    choice.

    The only thing an iPhone beats Android on is total cost of ownership is
    about five to ten times (or so) more for iOS products than for Android.

    Which, again, is why it's only the iPhone owners who are literally
    _desperate_ (crawling on their hands and knees) to get some of that wasted money back (anything!) in what they euphemistically call "resale value".

    You can't compare an iPhone to Android just like you can't call an Apple
    iKook a normal person because Apple pre-selects for the gullible buyers.

    Willy, you're just jealous because you didn't get invited to
    the walled apple garden. So you can't buy an iphone.
