You can change your wallpaper in IOS, from both whatever they offer and your personal photos. Look, the only major restriction which still applies, to me at least is the lack of filesystem access. Tell me one other major thing which still applies to iOS.

      Apart from highest price they offer worst possible options.
      I dont think apple is bad.
      But Noone else making IOS in phones.
      IOS restrict you from almost everything even changing your walpaper.
      Their prices are just orrible. Phone doesnt warm you at cold nights, phone doesnt feed you, phone doesnt do much more things.
      For a Same price like apple have Xiaomi can make like 3 flagships.
      And i really dont believe i will see in my life apple phone selling brand new for up to 200 eur :-)
      So soon xiaomi will be number 2.
      And when they will be allowed to all other countries they can reach number 1 that easy.

          Companies like Apple and Samsung could learn much from Xiaomi because the price is the best advertising.

            Shanti Dope, 03 May 2018Okay but why mostly Sony? I guess you hate it so.....can't... moreMan your facts are wrong.
            If sony created 3 cameras why they dont use it.
            Nice blabbing of old buzzard.
            Huawei did great job but you just cant swallow a bitter pill that Sony is Crap compared to Brands like Apple Samsung Xiaomi and Vivo.
            Sony closed their Vaio notebook section and they will close their mobile phone branch as well.
            Anything Sony is making is worse than competitors offer.
            Maybe Apart from Playstation but still most of people using PC for gaming.
            And in other case Xbox with Kinect is much better option.
            And Xbox copied that from a Nintendo Wii.

                    Any camera from Nikon or Cannon just for 100 does much better photos than a flagship phone for 1000+ can ever imagine.
                    Is a phone so dont expect proffesional photos like photographers do when girls or ladies doing poses for magazines like playboy, glamour etc.

                      Everything which flagship from other brands have can be covered by something else for a much cheaper way.
                      Like camera of P20 pro huawei or Samsung S9+.
                      Any camera from Nikon or Cannon for just 100 or 150 eur does much better photos than phone could ever dream for.

                        Reason is very simple price is the best advertising.
                        Where companies like Apple or Samsung spend billions for advertising Xiaomi sells just because people leave positive reviews to their freinds and families.
                        Price always matters and people know that phone wont need them or cover them in long cold winter nights.

                              They closed their notebook Sony Vaio section they will close phones as well.
                              But even in case of TV section LG does much better.
                              And for audio companies like JBP, THC or Bose are much better option.

                                You will never undderstand because you buy only from these almost unknown companies like HTC LG SONY.
                                Get a proper real phone from a real brand which is in top 5 and stop using your paper made of plastic and iron :-)

                                  Does anyone find it amazing how apple sells phones starting at 600 $,(not counting the SE) and still manages to sell the 2nd highest number of phones?

                                    i can afford to buy flagships from reputable brands like sam/apple/sony etc every year.

                                    but i will NEVER do that. because it is just a phone. there are many other things more important than phones.
                                    i just need phone to communicate, so cheap android phone is sufficient for me. and i don't care about brands. any brand is ok as long as it has good service center.
                                    fortunately xiaomi has good service center in indonesia. last time i went there.. they fixed my battery charging problem in 3 or 4 days.
