While I don't deny that your problem with Exchange is a pain exacerbated by some restrictions in iOS (like default mail app is the one Apple provides), you have totally and utterly failed to provide anything on the updates part while scarface74 provided facts on that very point that can be verified independently. "I don't know. There are too many" and "Sure there are" aren't answers that can be fact checked and verified. This sounds dubious for someone who claims not to use biometrics for unlocking (which, I agree, is a better security practice than using biometrics). Perhaps you always keep flashing your device with some random OS fork or build and that hasn't allowed you to observe what others who aren't as savvy as you have to put up with (I get that you could use this exact sentence back in pointing out what you see as deficiencies in iOS, but let's not move the goal posts).

Are you his second account because I can't believe what you write here. The guy started out writing like there COULDN'T be a problem because it's iOS and it supports exchange since 2009! This was no discussion at all. It was pure Apple fanboy gate keeping, insults, selective quoting and completely unrelated topics. Only in his latest comment he's suddenly interested in the problem itself. As I have written him, I detailed the problem up there where the question looked like somebody is seriously interested in it and not in gate keeping: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17994803 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17994803

  So you really think I have one account that’s been posting since 2013 and another account that’s been posting since 2015 and that they have both been posting prolifically just to have someone agree with me? But as far as the issue. Did you reach out to Microsoft? Did you download the Outlook app for iOS? Or would you rather just complain?

    Wow, you seem just like another friendly and helpful Apple Fan. Of course I love to complain! Thanks for your unique input and no I don't seriously think your are his second account, I wrote that to emphasise my argument that followed this and which you left out. EOD... Note to myself: never mention Apple again on hn Edit: wow ninja-downvote within 1 minute! Have you been reloading your comment page for the last hour? Oh I see...it's the other guy again...no surprise there.

        Are you kidding me? I've been shit upon by this apple circle jerk and you get at me? What rules did I break while they didn't? Edit: I really hope it wasn't you downvoting me instead of an answer...this is getting quite ridiculous.

        You were uncivil and you insinuated that other users were astroturfing. That's two guidelines right there. Also, we've had to warn you before. (Mods can't downvote replies to themselves, same as other users.)

        > You were uncivil I started being uncivil after they started being uncivil. Why is it me that is to blame here? I mean, they seem to be so agitated that they are downvoting me 3 days later! > you insinuated that other users were astroturfing Where did I do this?

    Would you please not perpetuate tedious tit-for-tat flamewars on HN? At some point it needs to be let go.
