I can't speak for others, but I'm an iPhone user, and I'm complaining!

> why the heck did you buy one knowing its limitations.

Because:

• Almost everyone I know uses iMessage exclusively.

• I very strongly dislike Android's UI design.

• I strongly prefer iPhone hardware.

Any two of these would be insufficient to offset how furious I am that I can't decide what code runs on my own damn phone! But taken together, Android just doesn't make sense.

I jailbroke my iPhone for years, despite the many inconveniences of running an outdated version of iOS, but Apple's security has just become too good.
