"Are you someone who has switched from iOS to another platform, or have you simply just refused to use Apple's mobile OS due to a missing piece of functionality?"

Tom Parkison Apple owns the device. I refuse to use a device that anybody but me owns the device. I bought it with my money! It's my device, not yours! Who are you to dictate to me what I can and can't do with a device I paid for?

valerie Page I use both they both have features I like

Jerale Hoard Samsung :P. If I didn't have a BlackBerry Z10 I would rather be with a iPhone 5. Samsung has good hardware (stolen ideas) and great camera quality but it's software sucks.

Lenn Liggins I do believe the IPhone is a very good phone, however, they haven't made any changes other than add a half inch to it. I'm a Windows phone guy.

Dallas Henry Firstly, it sucks ballsacks for phones. Secondly, I do use it for my iPad Mini. Thirdly, it hasn't changed much since inception. Fourthly, "SAMSUNG"... no need to say more. Fifthly... I wanted to type "fifthly".
