I like my iPhone too.  There are some things it does and certain apps
which I've grown accustomed to that I can't do without.  But I think
what Arlen has been pointing out to the iPhone group is that Apple has
severely limited iOS and the iPhone compared to Android and the other
phone manufacturers.  This type of mentality is not tolerated and
immediately assailed by those heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem.
There can't be a real discussion without personal insults and talking
past each other.  If anyone doesn't worship Apple they are immediately
labeled a troll or heretic.  It's much like the political discourse
these days.
