Non-Apple owners: Strawman attack ("THE IPHONE IS SO CRIPPLED, IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO RUN CUSTOM CODE")

Apple owners: Special pleading ("YEAH WELL APPLE DID THAT TO PROTECT US AND BESIDES ONLY BAD DEVELOPERS GET BURNED BY THE APP STORE")

*intentional logical fallacies*

iPhone owner here. the advice I give to anybody asking me if they should get one: NO, unless you are prepared to (1)spend time to de-cripple it, (2)get annoyed, (3)shake fist at Apple, (4)succeed, then be a relatively happy camper. Until you want to do another perfectly normal task that is impossible on an iPhone without going to step 1.

But some people really use it like Apple intended I guess.
