\\r\\n\\r\\nIndeed! \\r\\n\\r\\nSome things I no longer agree with: \\r\\n\\\\\\"The worlds most advanced mobile operating system\\\\\\" sorry but this is just no longer true. Yes I\\\\\\'m aware that Android is very powerful and can be augmented to work with just about 10\\\\\\'000 devices but at that point its not really Android but Linux that is doing its thing. QNX being at the core of BB10 I\\\\\\'d also state has a lot of other things onto it but by far these two are much more advanced than what Apple is brining. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\\\\\"Support comes with real people\\\\\\" ... yes there are human beings but \\\\\\"real\\\\\\"?!!?? Their just about as real as those hipsters already way too \\\\\\"fashionable\\\\\\" (whatever time of the month it is) and way too ... well lets just say it seems Apple is hiring anyone that seems remotely agile in their \\\\\\"orientation\\\\\\". They\\\\\\'re getting worse at being technical to resolve issues and instead through something in a box and out a new box into your hand. I want to go and have my smartphone or PC serviced as in troubleshooting, not be seen as a piece of black chocolate meat to be serviced at any store I don\\\\\\'t want to be picked up in any way (hetero/homo/dual/greeno whatever). What happens when that magical box swap no longer has something new and shiny in those boxes to hand out? (that is happening VERY soon by changes at Apple is working towards by Sept this year). \\r\\n\\r\\nThe majority of Apple\\\\\\'s sales and progress of their products, and always has, been in the design quality (don\\\\\\'t confuse this for build quality). Watches don\\\\\\'t ding going through a subway turn-style and holding an iPhone 5 never made me feel I was holding something \\\\\\"substantial\\\\\\" lol. \\r\\n\\r\\nMissUK, Don\\\\\\'t be holding out too much for the iOS 7 ... if Apple doesn\\\\\\'t get with standards via hardware and open up that software soon, many will jump ship this year. I say 3 months of great sales, then the realization hits that its just a fancier looking iPhone 4S that is lighter slightly larger screen. NFC alone, if Apple waits another year they\\\\\\'ll miss out on exclusive partnerships that can evolve to something greater! (An example is BlackBerry\\\\\\'s partnership with 1 of the 4 largest banks in Canada, CIBC with Rogers Wireless the largest carrier by coverage or subscribers, using NFC for mobile wallet purchasing. The real deal is using BlackBerry\\\\\\'s infrastructure for the secure transactions, yet many scoff at paying for the service, specific SIM card to allow for this, and the limited device support 1 BB device. Those that scoff have no idea their existing and recently updated Bank/Credit cards (Visa or MC) are using BlackBerry\\\\\\'s backend infrastructure going forward ... this is the deal Apple is missing on). \\r\\n\\r\\nBut hey ... competition is getting cut-throat and this is where we\\\\\\'ll see the real strengths and ability to adjust into other markets for each manufacturer. \\n
