    Nothing I can think of offhand. I guess the only thing that comes to mind is the iOS apps just "work". When I had an Android, most of the apps worked as they should, most of the time, but on occasion they would freak out for no apparent reason...as one would expect from an open system like Android. Most likely lazy programming, not the fault of Android itself.

    Before I found out about Jailbreaking, I would have been 100% Android, just for the free stuff and tweaks. But since you can accomplish the same with a JB, and you get stable apps that aren't knockoffs of the good stuff, I vote iOS

    I have not upgraded to iOS 7 because I've heard it really slows down the iPhone 4. There are settings you can change to make the experience better, but until the official jailbreak for 7 is released, and people have time to develop tweaks to turn off all the bells and whistles that add to the load of the OS, I'll sit on my downloaded 7.0.4 jailbreak-able version, waiting patiently for the go ahead.

    Nothing wrong with 6 anyway. Except the Duck Dynasty game requires 7

    My brother in-law's GF updated and the WIFI stopped working. She cannot turn it on unless she puts it in the freezer for a few minutes. I mean that too, she demonstrated. It gets too hot to turn on wifi and kills it automatically.

    A work friend does not even have the WIFI switch. At all. No switch to toggle, so no wifi.

    I've read about the Wifi problem. One of the 7.0.x updates addressed that, I believe. Something in the early release was creating constant activity over Wifi and overheating the antenna.

    The work friend took it in and was told that he either had to buy a new one or reset it to factory defaults and lose everything because there was no way to update it online. I don't know if he couldn't update it over the wire or something, but taht is why the only Apple product I have is an Apple IIe.

    (ok and an LC but that is Macintosh.)

    It's a minor glitch and could be fixed if he tried

    Now, Apple COMPUTERS? No thank you.
    Craziness.

    They are the same PS4s as the early releases with bad parts though.
