I like Apple products to some degree.  I do not like their limited user experience in comparison to other Vendor offerings.

I am talking about the iPhone and iPad only.

Apple likes to control the user where other vendors give the freedom to the user to do as you want.

I've researched Apple and even played with the security on some devices.  IN my opinion, Apple distorts the truth to protect its market share.
