So I read the whole thing and was going to respond point by point, but like with most of these bullshit articles, 90% of the list is things that the average user would never do or care about. It's so beyond their technical ability or need it's just wasted space on the OS. Even something marginally useful like controlling a DSLR is a pretty fucking niche market when you think about it. Than you get to shit like:

Turn the phone into a server: phone to become a DLNA, DNS, Email, FTP, IRC, Proxy, SMB, SMS, SSH, Web, WebDAV, XMPP server (Servers Ultimate)

99.9999999999999% of users, android or iPhone don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. Seriously, walk into a phone store, ask any joe blow customer if they'd like that functionality, watch the look on their face.

Or.

Run system maintenance tools like cache cleaner, Automatically cleanup all app related files once an app is uninstalled (CCleaner)

Yeah, okay, this might be useful if iOS updates didn't do this for you. But, even if this functionality was included, again, 99.99% of people would never even fucking do it. Most people don't even do it or even know fucking how to do it on their desktop let alone their phone.

Great, android has a bunch of niche features that nerds or specialists or some branch of people need. Good for fucking them! If these small features are important to them they'll buy a fucking android. If they need a good phone that works, does a lot of shit, and has tech that will last them a couple years instead of being outdated in a couple months... they'll buy an iPhone.
