I'm pretty sure most people would agree their OS is inferior.

I switched from Android to Blackberry because I consider the OS superior. To each their own, I suppose.

Inferior as an android competitor perhaps but as an OS for soft real time, or embedded or secure systems, QNX is extremely good.
In what way ? ... out of the box the BB does everything I need. I have to reboot my iPhone6 sometimes and the rest of the family reboots their androids weekly. I dont reboot the BB... it just works.
For games... sure android and iphones are great but some of us dont use these devices as toys

You must be joking.
iPhones and to a lesser extent Androids are ubiquitous now in the enterprise. So unless you think people who work there in are just using their phones for games then I would be taking your statement with a grain of salt. I work for an enterprise (market cap 50 billion) and our tens of thousands of employees all use iPhones.
Company I work for only has a market cap of 29Billion * sad face * . Work provides me with an iPhone6 and I have a q10. The iPhone6 is a hotspot with games and needs rebooting. The Q10 just works. Just because everyone is using something doesnt mean its the best tool for the job. I reiterate. I find the blackberry to work out of the box for anything I would need to do at work and its more reliable. I didnt say you couldnt use an Iphone for work... just said its not as good
