Hyperbole much?

Because they make very decent phones that can easily be made to run alternative Android operating systems that allow me to do whatever I like with my phone.

For example, you can't plug a USB Software Defined Radio (SDR) module into an iPhone to monitor and decode spectrum.

Well you can but you would have to jailbreak the iPhone first, but then its the same for the S4 too, isn't it? (That was an honest question, I don't follow the state of Samsung phones too closely)
