Innovation isn't about saying yes to everything. It's about saying no to all but the most important things.

Like, not having the ability to use your phone's basic features without iTunes?

When was the last time you saw an iPhone?
Oh, really? I'd love to see you transfer music to your phone without using iTunes. Or I'd love to see you transfer a file via bluetooth to another phone that's not an iPhone. Or..I'd love to see you install an app that wasn't released on the market without jail-breaking your phone.
>you transfer music to your phone without using iTunes
Can be done
>transfer a file via bluetooth to another phone that's not an iPhone
Can't be done (AFAIK) but is possible to transfer using more normal and useful internet protocols.
> install an app that wasn't released on the market without jail-breaking
Can be done. I do it all the time.
Can be argued that iOS not operate exactly as Android, and the opposite. Some operations are more convoluted than others (in both). However, iOS work, in average, better for the end-user than the alternatives (is very telling that the evidence in how Android is best than iOS is, mainly, in niche cases, complex operations, dev-stuff, and things that are not normal for the average user).
