Why does any criticism of Apple devices generally devolves into "but Android does it too", I expected better than fanboy-ism from the HN crowd.

The OP's comment was that any mobile devices these days, both Android and iOS are locked down black boxes. It wasn't specifically criticizing just Apple.

If you followed the dicussion you would see the big "both ecosystems are locked down and you are at the mercy of vendors" thread that goes on around here.

But it's easier to flag people as fanboys. <shrugs>

Since you are having trouble with getting what I said: I am saying that Apple in my eyes is the lesser evil of only two options. It's a very practical and time-saving decision to use Apple tech. But call it fanboyism if you like.
