PK don't you wish you had that Commodore now so you had the latest out there..... Oh that is a bit out dated....LOL . Messin with ya of course but ahead of it's time back then.
I'm 47, coach, but I bet you are right as I was in high school when I got the Apple IIc as I recall, and it was in the early 80ies probably like 82 or 83? I was around 17 I think. I paid 500 and Dad paid the rest. Prior to that I had a Commodore Vic 20.

My cousin had a Commodore Vic. It was an awesome computer for its time.

You can substitute the words "Apple" and "iOS" with the words "BlackBerry" and "BB10" and you can say the exact same thing about BlackBerry. Biased means more than "because it's my opinion". It usually means you haven't thought things out logically and without emotional involvement. If there is one electronic device people get overemotional about, it's their phones. There are plenty of Android lovers that have come up with just as "logical" of a biased opinion about their emotional involvement with their phone. I find those "biased" opinions incredibly funny and love to read them.
I use all the OS out there and each one is great and horrible. I've never understood putting all your eggs in one basket.
People say Apple isn?t innovative because they lack features the competition has, but the question you need to be asking is why Apple hasn?t implemented them. The answer is simple, you don?t need them, and they don?t do anything to enrich the experience of the mobile platform.
As for other limitations, like not being able to replace the default keyboard, this would also be understandable if iOS were rock solid with great battery life, but this is simply not the case. When I got my 5s through work, it had already rebooted more times in two weeks than my Nexus 4 did in a year (although things have gone smoothly since the 7.03 update rolled out). The battery life isn't any better or worse than my N4 or Moto X. Overall, those two phones are every bit as smooth as the 5s is, if not more.
I think the main problem is that most of you have never used a GOOD Android device. Granted, there are only a handful of these devices in a sea of garbage, but once you get a hold of one, I'm not sure you will hold Apple in the same high regard anymore.
I have to wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. If your 5S battery life is similar to your Nexus 4, you should restore and setup as new, or possibly take it to the Apple Store.
As for the smoothness of iOS 7 versus 4.2.2 or 4.3 Jelly Bean: I will agree that the later versions of JB are some of the smoothest Android experiences ever. iOS 7 by comparison, is far from the smoothest iOS experience I've ever had.
To be fair, there's a lot I like about iOS, and a lot I hate about it too. Same with Android. I really wish I could combine the two platforms, esp with the active notifications and hands-free functionality of my Moto X
i've been using Apple products since the early 80's, I believe it was a Mac IIc. And, have been using Apple exclusively since. Does that make me biased towards Apple, or a "fanboy"? I certainly love Apple products, obviously. But, I don't trash other brands, nor put down their ads, nor insult their users, nor claim Apple is superior in all things. My brother only buys GM cars, a cousin prefers only Hondas. I've own a Ford F150, a Camry and a Subaru. At the end of the day, buy whatever you want and be happy. There's no need to trash anyone for preferring something else. Peace.
I agree, if anyone thought I was bashing any other brands, their users, or being a fanboy then the point of the post was missed entirely. A bias doesn't necessarily mean a perception of the best, just a perception of what is best for the person with the bias. As in my case, I prefer iOS and Apple over the competition, but I love all the competition.

One could replace "Apple" with any company, though, and the same would be true. That could apply to anything, not just tech products.Problem is that without a lot of self-restraint it's almost impossible these days not to get sucked into trolling/bashing/provokation from those who hang out on iBlogs and get satisfaction when they aggravate others. I'm (trying to be) like you, strictly reading what I enjoy (Apple related material) and biting my tongue when it comes to other platforms. Unfortunately that's not what the majority does, at least thats my perception. Sucks that in the days of the internet you get the impression it's impossible to just dearly like one thing without hating the rest.
