I agree the herd-animal religious beliefs spouted by Colour Sergeant Bourn

Apple's world market share is laughably puny compared to that of Android.

Even so, while all companies are in it for the profit, nobody could say
with a straight face that Apple gives the customers what they want. 

Apple removes functionality the customer wants, and then waits for the pain
to get great enough that the customer has to find some way to buy it back.

People plug sdcards into their devices all the time, Chris. 
And people plug headphones into their devices all the time also, Chris.
People connect power to the USB port too.

It's only Apple devices where Apple's strategy is to limit your choices.

Are you sure about that? Or is that only herd-animal propaganda you spew?

Why is the iPhone the most insecure phone, bar none, in smartphone history?
