Most iPhone users think the portable storage slot is only for

they can save pictures & video.)

Thank you for understanding that I _love_ that more than half of all
Android phones in use today still have the SD slot, the aux jack and
the FM radio (if not the removable battery - which I loved just as
much as those).

 
Even if nobody is using them...

Both phones suffer from the shitty and non-user replaceable batteries.

I've replaced plenty of iPhone batteries. And for those who aren't
skilled enough or don't have the required parts and tools, Apple will
rent the tools needed to users along with detailed instructions and
replacement batteries. So it's untrue to say they are not
user-replaceable.

Glued together. And the software that drops support after a few years.

Devices can run indefinitely even after support expires, if well taken
care of.

Both are shitty chinese disposable devices. Pure crap.

No.

At least apple has a thriving cult.

So claim the Android zealots.
