Isn’t the storage one of the few things that users can upgrade themselves? If so, then going 128GB may not be a bad choice at all!

Because they sometimes kill products you love? Or mine your data? Or don’t have very good support for using their products?

I like Google (I use a Nexus 4), but there are points to constructively criticize any company.

I think the outrage is encapsulated in John Oliver’s line on the Daily Show:

Mr. President, we’re not saying you broke any laws, but rather that it’s kind of weird that you didn’t have to.

Thanks for bringing some sense into this. The DOJ is propping up a potential monopoly of Amazon’s in the name of “competition!”

Hopefully the 3rd party mail client world remains active on iOS, so you can continue to use what you prefer.

You realize that Safari in iOS 1 used card-based UI for switching between tabs? It looks a lot like the new multitasking.

What if you have a wallpaper where the left 50% is black and the right 50% is white? Or top and bottom halves?

Who the hell are these mysterious people you seem to indicate are claiming Apple is perfect and flawless? Apple has never been perfect… Doesn’t mean they aren’t great or that iOS 7 isn’t a great update, icons be damned.

Who are you responding to that made the claim that any giant category of people is/isn’t some way? I’m responding to a direct example of snobbery, and I didn’t generalize to say it was about all Android fans.

I use a Nexus 4 and love Android. Doesn’t mean I have to be an asshole about it.

I had a One X. I’m a 6’ 4" and have big hands. I often had to “climb” the phone when using it one-handed to reach the sleep/wake button. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but I definitely noticed after switching from iPhone that I quickly internalized a “climbing” / “descending” movement of my hand.
