I've come to the conclusion that most people who are Apple "haters" are those who have never tried an Apple product. I was one of them, just because I always read that iOS was locked down and couldn't do anything except open apps.
I love my iPhone 6S+ and can't wait to order the 7.
Very true. There are advantages and disadvantages to every ecosystem. Those who are open-minded and well-informed understand that neither Apple or Android suck. The "best" ecosystem is a matter of opinion and depends on the individual's use case.
