      This closed OS is actually the most secure mobile OS in the world apart from WP8.

      The fingerprint data doesn't go anywhere other than the iPhone, please do some proper research before rolling out the usual tripe about how Apple is so bad.

      As for giving your information away, how about Google selling your info through Gmail, your browsing history, your searches? Google Android wasn't created just to give away for free.

      People on here really are ignorant.

        I'd buy the iPad if I wanted another tablet, I had an iPad 4 and got rid of it as a full blown laptop is infinitely more useful.

        Choose the one you like and stick by it, if you feel that you have to justify your choice with insults and aggression then that's your problem, no one else's.

          1. Control how user should use paid and licensed app & games so that they could generate more money after selling their iOS devices.

          2. To control how user should use their device they way they permitted.

          3. Non-expandable memory was not for stability. It is for Apple to generate more revenue. You'll need pay more money to obtain high capacity iPhone & iPad.

          4. Non-replaceable battery, so that you can only get replacement battery only from Apple on expensive part & service charges.

          5. Find your iOS devices and finger print security was to help US govt to Spy-Gate your information. So your every usage is under NSA tight surveillance.

            So - the Note beat the iPad. Still - the Note needs to loose some weight and lessen battery drain.

                        Faster download speed
                        Wifi
                        Better photos and camera
                        Better videos
                        Standard usb cord
                        No itunes restriction
                        Better screen accuracy
                        Better ease of sharing data
                        Expandable storage
                        Better loud-speaker

                        Leather feel warmer and allows for more grip than bear metal

                          iPad's 1 GB RAM for a 64-bit CPU is laughable. what a waste.
                          The article should also put in MS Surface 2 in the mix.

                                      5. Screen Layout 16-10
