well he was a bit of a perfectionist.. and tbh if he launched a product that wasn't up-to-scratch then it would get slammed by all the apple haters even more

Yeah, I mean imagine launching Siri configured so it was possible to make the iPhone do things whilst locked.

Or letting OSX out with double the number of security holes vs Windows?

Madness.

true. but the media had a field day with the launch of the 4 and signal issuez etc... seems to be more pronounced when there is a new product launched instead of a re-vamp

Oh yeah - he was a complete perfectionist...

as flawed as the iPhone may be - there's still no decent alternative.

you won't find many people who have actually owned an iPhone and don't like it. usability = good. quality = good. jailbroken = good.

Try the Samsung Galaxy SII or any of the decent Android units.

I have mates who've gone from iPhones to them and love them.

Android units are outselling iPhones for good reasons:

Cheaper, faster, less money to the operator.

Apple is too greedy.

Spot on.

I personally prefer the iPhone, but there is no way to justify the difference in price.
