For you a threat, for many others a feature. Lots of people buy iPhones specifically because they are restrictive, and are therefore more robust. Ask an average user which experience they prefer - sourcing software for a Windows PC, or downloading an App for an iPhone.

> Lots of people buy iPhones specifically because they are restrictive, and are therefore more robust Just have a look at a mainstream Youtube video about the latest iPhone and see when they talk about the app review (hint: never). People buy phones based on camera, screen and interface, they never heard about the walled garden or Apple's practices.

        That's where you are wrong If you say "I think US people are happy of having the higher life expectancy in the World" reminding them that it is the lowest in the West is just revealing a lie There is no lack of malware on iPhones. It's a lie.

  I mean why would they? It's not new and its been well known feature of the iPhone since day 1.

    Really? If you asked the average Joe off the street to list off the features of an iPhone compared to android, how far down the list do you think "app store review" would show up, if at all? I think most people would say stuff like "speed, camera, display, apps, privacy" then stop.

Anyway, 3d artists, just to name one, prefer Windows by far
