What are you referring to, exactly? Apps? And if so, what does the price of an app have to do with it's proprietary nature? Are you only running Open Source applications? I kind of doubt it.

Apple is great, if you enjoy proprietary bullshit and parting with your wallet. Everything is free with Android. Is everything free with Apple? All apps that I use on my iPhone 5 have been free. In fact, I spent more on the "free" Android apps than I ever have on Apple apps. Don't get too hung up on Android being open-source. All smart phone software is proprietary (and closed) to a large degree. Apple is more tightly controlled than other companies, but those controls also mean that the apps typically run better. I paid a little more for my iPhone because I wanted a better experience and better quality. I do the same with other consumer goods, as well. And man is it nice not to have to do a battery pull EVERY SINGLE DAY to get the phone working again. |

The update made things better. Threw me off, me and SevenMaryThree got ours about the same time last month when I came out to Phoenix. Texting each other garbage because the layout and some stuff was different.
Overall, it made some improvements that I enjoy (pandora playing now has controls when it's locked so I don't have to unlock and pull up pandora every time.)
The touch sensitivity may have decreased and that's why it's hard to punch that stupid green arrow. It's also made me type some weird shit in texts and posts where I have to go back and edit like 5 times. That's about the only flaw that's buggin me but if that's the worst of it, I can deal with it. |

Apple probably has more free apps than Google and the ones you pay for are generally cheaper than their Android counterpart. |

Let me think, you have to go into your system settings for the phone. Under location access you have to select the second option after e911 only which should be "access to my location" and make sure it is on. I also check the others down below like VZW loc serv and google mobile network location and enable them. |

People still use carrier-provided software and updates? I've lost count of how many times one of my droid-using friends had to exchange their bricked device due to a bad update. It has happened to my brother twice in the last 6 months. The updates went through and the devices just quit working
Currrently running CaptivatingM3 + semaphore on my S1. Prior to that was CM10.1 + semaphore. If you own an android device you need to register over at XDA forum and bookmark the section for your device. You're missing out on better looks, better performance, better battery life, more customizations, more apps(root-only apps like Titanium Backup), etc. |
