I think it baffles me that there is enthusiasts that will defend either side as an absolute. I mean I get it, people tend to fall into tribal thinking. But sometime you have to take a step back and remember that these are just gadgets.

Personally, I run Android. It is an OS. It is ok. Not great not bad. I don't really care what other people run, I just hope it doesn't treat them to poorly.

I certainly don't defend iOS and am unlikely to ever buy an iPhone. Overall I like my phone better than my previous phones, but Android is certainly designed so that manufacturers and providers can irritate their users on a whim leaving them with little recourse.
