How are they going to load any app launcher?
Where is the app drawer functionality on iOS?
Why can't iOS users put app icons in different folders?
Why can't they simply delete any app icon they want to?
Why can't they do something as simple as name an icon to what they want?
Where's the youtube without ads functionality on iOS?
What about bit torrenting on iOS?
Heck, why can't iOS even tell the user the unique cell tower ID anymore?
Why can't iOS give a graph of the wifi signal strength over time?
Where's the FM radio on Apple devices if the user wants one?
What about expandable storage if the user wants it?
What about a user-replaceable battery upgrade if the user wants it
(this list of what Androidd does that Apple iOS can't goes on and on).


The typical Apple user doesn't care about any of that stuff. Bit
Torrent? REALLY? I think the perceived comparison exists only in your
mind. Trust me, I worked for Apple for many years - the Apple user
cares about getting high quality funtionality simply, easily, and
elegantly. The details of the specs really don't matter. Matter of
fact, Apple products have never been about being "best" in any
technical way.

Depending on how old you are, you may remember Bang & Olufsen hi-fi
gear (they're still in business, sorta). Immaculately, elegantly
constructed, and sounded better than, oh, 80% of the rest of the
market. They weren't even slightly interested in the other 20%. You
pressed the button and quality music came out. Want to know the RMS
power output? Call the factory; otherwise it's "enough."

Steve Jobs famously used B&O; My setup from the late 70's is still
gracing my living room.
