Vastly overrated!
It’s main strengths are marketing, Apple’s highly litigious nature that seeks to copyright the lower-case, and Jony Ives. For those that don’t know, he is responsible for the design of pretty much every Apple product in the last 13 years. Like many Apple products, it’s specs are rather “meh”, it lacks features that many consider essential, and it has some weaknesses that many cultists fervently believe are strengths and others that they won’t believe exist even if proven empirically/conclusively. For example, the fact that I had iOS4 crash more on an average day than Android has crashed on me in the last month is refuted ad nauseum.
So tell me, what is it that an iPhone 4s can do that the Droid 3 can’t? They both use a dual-core ARM A9 CPU, both take voice commands, both have 8MP rear and 0.3MP front cameras… yet the Droid 3 can replace a battery without a trip to the repair shop, expand storage, sync through means other than iTunes, and has all sorts of apps you will NEVER see in the App Store because they don’t have to deal with their overlord throwing a hissy-fit and bashing things with a ban-hammer for no valid reason.
