Apple going down the drain?

DUH? You don't think everything from your phone calls, emails, travel itinerary, retail purchase, activities, etc. isn't being monitored for decades?
You mean doing not whatever you want with your phone since you bought it? Here's a "feature" for the next iPhone: rent it from Apple for $50 per month on top of your cell phone plan. Better return it in pristine condition or those blue shirts will come after you.We really don't want that freedom ....
Given that Apple is a consumer focused company and a closed one too, it's likely that the fingerprint sensor is basically useless. You might as well use no password.
Interesting how the Android OEM's won't honor the warranty if they can confirm the device has been rooted or unlocked.We really don't want that freedom ....
Many many stories like this online.

Google retains any Wi-Fi passwords entered into Android devices.
Word is they have access to the info as plain text.
Much as I think apple is going the way of RIM, I feel compelled to point out National Report's current headline story:
"Meltdown in Washington: President Obama Reported Sedated Following Emotional Breakdown"
Draw your own conclusions.
That's true with just about any product not just technology related or Android or Apple. Modifying a product you purchased to behave in a way the designers did not intend, usually voids the warranty. Warranties especially the extended ones are basically useless since they cover limited types of failure or the the chance of them happening is remote.
At least you have the choice of significantly modifying an Android product to your liking and some companies embrace it. Yes, it voids the warranty, but those companies give you the ability to mod the device.
I should point out that you can cutomize keyboard in Android without rooting. In iOS you have to jailbrake.
As I said earlier, to each their own hobby. Some would just rather pay for a BMW M5 supercar that you just push the button and voila 560 HP! Others like to spend
their free time tinkering with their cars, or Android phones.
I don't think every single one made the purchase based on OS. I'm sure more than a few chose whatever was cheapest or purchased whatever the salesperson told them to buy.
Apple will continue to hold onto its luxury niche. the question is will productivity apps become dominant in Android one day forcing companies to adopt Android as standard platform rather than iOS?
You could always attach a bluetooth keyboard: http://ipod.about.com/od/introductiontotheiphone/tp/keyboards-for-iphone.htm
You can also get "BMW M5 supercar" Android phones that you can just "push the button and get 560 HP" too. You can tinker with iPhone or Android and it's optional. The only difference is that you can tinker like crazy with Android where you're more limited with the iPhone. You can also run Android on virtually any device because it's an open source meaning all developers have access to the code and can freely experiment. IOS is a closed system and only Apple decides what devices it goes on.As I said earlier, to each their own hobby.

What a silly conclusion. That's like saying 80% prefer PC computing. Really?
The only conclusion you can draw is that 80% use android.
How many users of cheap android phones would choose apple if money was no object?
How many chose based on brand?
