    My conscience told me under no uncertain terms to ditch Apple forever. I have seen the light. Hallelulaj.

    For me it's the user experience and functionality. Things like lock screen notifications, lock screen voice control, desktop syncing client, full device backups, the way the device responds to your touch, the keyboard and auto-correction, the web browser, the signal quality, and then with the device itself, the physical home button, the silent switch, the reversible charging/sync cable, the size/power ratio. That's just some off the top of my head.

    Why the constant Apple bashing, or claims that every owner of an Apple product feels the need to post about them?

    There are probably more posts from people who refuse to consider Apple products telling others how bad they are than there are posts from people who like them.
    It's a shame the hatred has meant discussions are slanted and any positive comments about Apple are derided.


    Bad? no.
    vastly overpriced and overhyped? Yes

    Yeah it's great. It eliminates that fumbling around you get with MicroUSB and bent pins etc. The rest of the world will be getting reversible connectors eventually.

    I've posted many threads seeking advice on how to add missing functionality and features to my Moto G (and previous Android devices).

    Yeah the functionality that's missing from Android, but only some of it is available from one or two manufecturers, but not all of it from anyone.

    It needs to be a physical home button, like Samsung has, so the device can be awoken quickly and easily without having to fumble for a side mounted power (put the power button on the top already!).

    Power button on top. yup got one. infact I can't recall the last HTC I have owned that didnt.
    Not a huge fan of the physical button. Have one on the Samsung tablet and I often se the tablet rotated 180 degrees to put it to the top.
    You see it as missing features,i see it as choice. The Galaxy range has many features that dont interest me,but my OH preferes the Galaxy range over my HTC.
