I'm unsympathetic. The only thing that held back non-Apple mobile platforms was the app ecosystem. The Play Store has definitely caught up with the App Store. Even if you don't think it does, the versatility of Android really does beat that of iOS.

iOS isn't going anywhere for the general populace, but I see little benefit for its use in the tech community.

I'm not one of those "iOS is a toy for idiots" detractors, but not even iOS7 delivered on some really requested features. If we have to pine every year for Apple to build something bloggers keep asking for, is this the kind of model for a software platform that we want?

People are more knowledgeable now; Apple isn't always right.
