Wanting a sane and stable and reliable device is doing evil? Oh please. If the changes happened that people (who apparently don't use iOS) wanted, iOS would turn into the godawful shitshow that is Android. No thanks.

If you don't like Apple, boycott them. Easy.

That people don't like the UX of Android, I totally understand (I did not like iOS' last time I tried, so it makes sense to me that someone that likes it doesn't like Android's).

But I don't understand why you would suggest Android is unstable and reliable. I have been using miscellaneous Android devices for some time now, and I don't remember having any stability or reliability issues with the OS.

As for the "boycott", I agree as a user, it's easy. But as a an app developer it's certainly much tougher given their large market share.

That can be true while at the same time being true that Apple is taking advantage of their position to extort money from developers and end users.

If your customers demand an iOS app, boycotting them is not easy. It's expensive either way.
