I was really commenting more on his use of the word pathetic. If it's rarely used it's hardly a pathetic UI.There are rather few things that one does frequently on the phone (or any other OS). Doe it mean that the rest of UI may be lousy?

This has been discussed thoroughly in previous pages so I'm not going to repeat what I said again but...
Google Music matches songs exactly and just as good as iTunes Match but does it for free compared to $25 annual payment for iTunes Match. A 20,000 limit for free compared to a 25,000 song limit for iTunes Match. Pretty good for free.
Google Docs allows for multiple users to edit and work on documents and the same time. In addition its free which is great for everyone. Even my friends who own Macs use it. It might look less pretty but it works great.
Google Now is constantly updated with new features while it takes Siri 1 year to add 3-4 features. Google Now was just updated to be able to tag music like what Shazam can do. Plus it can accomplish more things than Siri. Both have about the same reliability, but Google Now can do more.
I want it to work with the option to be cool.
If Apple provided a 1st party "jailbreak" with some kind of criteria (only developer accounts, perhaps), 90% of the iPhone users would never bother, but the remaining 10% would enjoy a tinkerable OS, by assuming for themselves all the risks. Heck, it would be an excellent method of selling more developer subscriptions.
To clarify what I said: iOS handles background apps very well. It's rare for an app to go rogue and keep working in the background unless the user told it to do so (playing music, navigation, downloading something).I need to close all my apps every time I finish using my iPhone, so thst they don't keep running in the background and waste all my battery![]()

too complex. Apple stands for simplicity, not for tweaking and tons of options.
Most used settings here (at least twice a day):The toggles for 3G, Bluetooth, Brightness, WiFi really should be accessible in the same manner as Orientation Lock is though.
If only 10% would enjoy it (especially for just tinkering purposes) then what benefit would it be for Apple to take the time?
Google introduced it in Android and after introduced it, Apple basically took that idea
Most used settings here (at least twice a day):
Brightness, 3G, Flightmode, closing lots of apps. The latter is the only one that is easily accessible on iOS without several clicks and scrolling. My warranty is up, so it might be time for a jailbreak.![]()

To each their own, but that's so strange to me. The OS manages all those things. I think that's where Apple's stance comes from on the matter. Unless an app is badly misbehaving (i.e. stuck or locked up somehow), I've never felt the need to "close all my apps" (most of those icons are just save states, FYI). Brightness is automatic. And I'm not sure I've ever turned off my data (except when overseas) or wifi. Apple's power management and battery life is best in class, so you can just leave it on and not think about it.
Android users sometimes like to point out how much micromanaging they can do with all these different toggles and background apps, and I'm usually just wondering 'you have to think about that stuff?'
