That's ridiculous. ALAC (Apple Lossless) has exactly the same quality as FLAC, and both are open source too.
Same goes for Blu-Ray, it's usually just the same h.264 avc codec Apple also uses. It doesn't have better quality.
Actually Apple supports much better quality video codecs than Blu-Ray, like the ProRes codec.
Plssss
P'LEEAsSE!!!
I can add a battery pack if need be, as for the SD slot, again not enough to sway this IOS user, Silly... anyway I have iCloud. Good luck with the Android sales pitch. 
Oh and there are other ways to insure your mobile devices aka 3rd party warranties. ex: Squaretrade.

Batter pack? I would trust batteries from the device's manufacturer which can be bought as an accessory.
To be honest the removable battery and SD card thing is something that all android users say (just like they did with Flash until Adobe nixed it) as some sort of "one-up" on iPhone.
It's really not though. You'd need a removable battery for one of two things (if you can think of another reason let me know): 1) Your phone's battery doesn't last throughout the day, 2) your phone's battery fails completely constantly necessitating the need for backups.
Neither of those apply to iPhone, so is the removable battery important just because you can? Does it serve any other practical purpose other then you just can?
SD card same deal. Do you really need more then 64GB of space on your phone? How much space is used up on your current SD card? I have a motorola droid, with a 32GB card, and I have 26GB of free space. I have around 50 apps, I use Google Music for all my music and I have about 200-300 pictures. Exactly what do you put on the remaining 26GB of space that would necessitate having a removable SD card? Again, just cuz you can?
Go back 4 stories to the "scroll back" patent one, where they changed vanilla Android to more closely resemble iOS.
Or the always popular http://www.tuaw.com/2011/09/28/no-comment-proof-that-samsung-shamelessly-copies-apple/
*sigh* That picture is fake. The store isn't a samsung store, its a Samsung mini store within a store, thus the Apple icons appear...on the back wall. The usb doesn't actually look like that.
And Android doesn't look like iOS at all.
Ah right, must be all those Samsung fakes that keep popping up.
Oh no it's still Samsung's store, and the power supply is true as well (as all the rest)

There's also still that other thing too.

Come on...
Oh, 'cause there is no such thing as researching a product before buying. FYI, I haven't had any issues w/ warranty voiding with an Apple product.

Samsung sold more units than Apple in Q3...
And their models were more varied, meaning manufacturing those units was actually harder, as it required more assembly lines/different parts.
But let's not let the facts interrupt a good Apple praising session. Please, continue as if reality didn't exist.
3) Your battery begins to overheat.
4) You drop your phone in the water
Sure. Besides being able to easily replace the original battery with one with higher capacity (I always do this with a new smartphone).... it's very convenient to be able to swap in a fully charged battery when I want to go back out after a long day, or if I've just landed after a long flight watching videos, or if I'm going camping.
It's not super critical for me. Convenient? Absolutely.
Yeah, because store openings are so much better. Look guys, not everything posted to page 1 is going to interest you. There is no such thing as page 2 anymore.
Rumours about legal facts.
or
Rumours about product speculation, most of which are wrongly predicted.
Which would you want on page 1?
----------
There is a page 2. it is called:
"More MacRumors Stories".
Still technically on page 1 but on the right side in brief. So it's almost like a page 2 to me.
And for the record only some store openings made page 1. Some quite large and important ones made page 2. And some tiny ones made page 1. No consistency on which store opening news made page 1.
Not really. APPL price is predicated on fast growth not on keeping existing user base and all indications are that new users choose Android.
There's plenty of external USB batteries and cases out there that solve that problem.
They are also easier to charge (just plug them into a USB port, don't need the phone) and to check up on their charge too (they usually come with a LED gauge).
There's even solar powered ones, ideal for camping.
Easier to go planes too, since security these days don't take like people carrying unconnected spare batteries.
Yeah but it does not change the fact that removable battery is still better and will stay better than non-removable.
