The capacitive back button must be banished from all phones. What a horrible piece of crap, I don't know how many times I've accidentally pushed it on my 920.

Apple is still more profitable than Samsung.
An initial report by Steve Kovach of BusinessInsider proclaimed "Samsung Made $1.43 Billion More In Profit Than Apple Last Quarter, " before the site realized that it was comparing Apple's after tax net income to Samsung Electronics pre-tax operational income.
The site subsequently corrected its story with a new, less racy headline "How Samsung's Profit Compares To Apple's

An earlier version of this said Samsung made more profit last quarter, but it was comparing Samsung's operating profit to Apple's. We apologize for the error.

OOPS! :)
Coming from Android, I have exactly the same response when moving to iOS. 'Why is there no back button? Why is all the functionality shoehorned into one button? Oh, you have to press the button for certain amounts of time for different features? Where's the discoverability?".
You seem to be complaining much more about unfamiliarity with workflow than real issues.
In my experience, people are drawn to Android don't care much about user experience and instead want larger screens and tons of features.
Did you honestly just say that a larger screen doesn't have anything to do with the user experience?
