iOS from the ground is built like small baby which needs support like restrictions, itunes and own eco system. Without these protection it dies within seconds.
But ANDROID is built like a individual beast to protect itself without external support or restrictions. To make dumb baby iOS mature Apple have to restart the OS build from scratch. I hope they do it very soon...

        Why ios always have issues with messaging? ios is so restrictive, it doesn't have otg, direct pc to phone transfer option, one of the only open options are easy to hack. So just imagine what will happen if iOS removed all those restrictions.

          Here comes another update to fix this update...

            ios 11 might been the worst update in apple portfolio, the questionable toggle behaviour in action centre, questionable power management, bug, the weird decision for the notification shade and more

Apple device are REALLY behind android in terms of specs. (although as an owner-from-work of an iPhone 8/4.7/64gb owner. I can tell you that 2GB on iPhone ARE a lot for iOS. leakage=0% and it's really efficient. but you feel locked as heck. I prefer my note 8 over the iPhone 8. or my Ultratouch when I feel nostalgic)

                    The only thing iOS had, in favour of androids (arguably), optimisation and stability. And it seems even that too is going away. But it seems these things don't matter anymore for Apple as they have made their name in the market in such a way, that more & more people are willing to empty their pockets for an Apple product each passing year, despite it being behind android flagship in almost every way

                      iOS 11 have alot of bugs

                        Everything ecosystem must have flaws and bugs. That's why don't overhyped iOS.

It was always a high risk game.

                                  They want to say they did a good job fixing bugs. They didnt find any, they created them to show their followers they care to fix things. Dirty business
