A lack of features is a feature of any Apple product. It's what makes them great, and accessible for the large public. It's the reason I absolutely love to USE my phone and iPad, and love to mess around with an Android device. It's a lot harder to leave out features than adding. You have to be carefull about what you leave out, make sure you don't touch core-functionality, and make sure the features that are present are done brilliantly, because they will be in the spotlight, all the time. I'm not saying Apple does this flawlessly, I'm not a blind fanboy, they have serious misses (notifications pre-IOS5, Calendar app, IOS folders, ...) - but they do this a lot better than anyone else. To be honest, I never had problems with "missing" features (except calendar/call overview in the lock screen), but more problems with the implementation of features that were present, but not executed well enough.
