The best part about these kinds of stories is that we all get to share our feelings about Apple! Tell us why you prefer iOS or Android -- I can't wait to find out!!
Because of the same reason I read the comments in any HN thread. Often times you will find additional links or insights that are more useful than the source article itself. That's the awesome thing about HN to me. The problem with anything Apple related is that you have to sift through a ton of heavily regurgitated "religious" beliefs to find that nugget of useful knowledge in the comments.
I know, right!? It’s not like we haven’t heard the same opinions 1,000x before on each and every single previous Apple article.
