> 4b) For iOS, I'd really want more control of the device without need for insecure jailbreak. This is the main factor that keeps me using Android for now. I want to have completely free access to my files. I want to be able to execute dynamically generated code (even if it's running in a sandbox or needs to pass a validator of some sort). I want more control over how the UI works. Etc. Insecure or confusing for non-technical users? Put it behind a switch "advanced mode".
What I'd really like is for Apple to do the jailbreak patching on old releases and allow roll-backs. I do like iOS and iPhones, but taking my 4s up to iOS 9 after having AT&T unlock it resulted in a major performance hit. They have improved it, but it's not the way it used to be, and same with space considerations. I'm fine with the OS having to eat up a lot of space but right now Apple is in a transitional stage for iphones and iOS where legacy hardware can still run iOS9; the 8 gig phones just have almost no room on them with the dump space used that you can't manually clean on stock iOS.
Basically, I'm fine with updating, but I'd like to know I can decide to go back if my real world usage is not acceptable. Apple's legacy support is great and I do like that they include the option, but I'd like to be able to decide "not for me".
