I wouldn't say that Apple is limited, I would say that Apple allows you to do things differently.
For instance, the pull down notification slide that you get when you pull down from the top of the screen is the place where widgets go on iOS. There's a lot of things that you can put there. I myself have a Speed Dial widget there with four phone numbers that I use a lot. I can also put a lot more there but I want to keep things clean. Just because Apple is different doesn't mean that Apple is wrong. If you ask me, Apple has done things a whole lot better than Android has done and it shows in how clean the OS is and how well the system performs overall.
Considering that the iPhone has only one gigabyte of RAM and some of the top-end Android phones have as much as three gigabytes of RAM and still they run like hot crap shows that perhaps Apple was right in how they designed iOS.
