That's like saying a Camry is better than a Ferrari because it has more cup holders.

Actually, Camry is better because it is a car that you can actually drive where I live, unlike Ferrari.

However, car metaphors aside, my work requires apps that maintain persistent connection with server. When I carry a supercomputer in my pocket that can totally outperform my PC from 1993 by a factor of 500x or more, I kinda expect it to be able perform basic computing tasks that it is perfectly capable of, hardware-wise. And the only reason I can't is because Apple forbids me, styling it as 'care' about my battery life.

Do you think about your phone differently than a gaming console or a DVR?
