Yes, Iphone do basic thing like  making phone calls, texting, running apps and taking pictures. All of the cheaper option can do all of that. If you want to do more than that, you are out of luck if you have an Iphone. You  have to use the system apps that the OEM wants you to use, such as music or camera apps. For example the default music player on Iphone 4 was weak ( maybe it improved, but ı don't think so), but you can't change it. Or for browser, you have to use Safari. Other browsers are basically Safari in disguise. You can't transfer files via blutooth between other phones if they are not Iphone.  You can't save files attached to emails. No customization at all. I can go on if you want.

You can't save files attached to emails.

This statement sticks out for me. My wife has a 3GS and she can save any file attached to an email. So either Apple has somehow removed this feature from newer iphones, or your statement is false. 

You  have to use the system apps that the OEM wants you to use, such as music or camera apps.

I went to the app store and found MP3 players that do not use itunes (example, EZMP3 Player Pro), and many camera apps as well. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by this statement? 

Or for browser, you have to use Safari.

I found CHROME in the apps store for iphone. 

No customization at all.

Okay, in my wife's iphone there is a settings menu where you can customize all sorts of things. You can create your own folders for apps, set any image for your home screen, you can even customize the vibration patterns and assign them to specific callers. How cool is that?

When I ask for advice on making a decision on choosing a product (phone, console, handheld, computer,...) I am never sure if I can trust the information I get. Even legit sites seem to give misinformation or coloured opinions. I guess that is why I always double check the information before making any decisions. Your statements have actually helped me to learn more about the iphone. 

 



In the absence of evidence to the contrary, always assume you have the upper hand.
