I agree, and we shouldn't "circle the wagons" when someone shares
their frustrations and/or disappointments about said platform (i.e,
iOS), and recommend they switch Mobile platforms in the process. We
should let them voice their frustrations and/or disappointments to
help determine whether or not some "constructive criticism" should be
sent to said platform (i.e, iOS).

I actually think it's inappropriate to come to an iPhone list and
bash Android devices just as I think it's inappropriate to go to an
Android list and bash iPhones. What works for one person may not
work for another. Instead of getting defensive when someone else
mentions another product, I think we should encourage the sharing of
accurate knowledge about all of our options. This spreading of
misinformation about other products, whether intentional or not,
just hurts the blindness community. We should be happy when another
blind person finds another product is accessible and meets their
needs just as well as what we're using. Choice is good, and we never
know when we might appreciate choice ourselves. I was a happy Nokia
user, but I obviously was glad I had other options when the Symbian
platform went by the boards.

I still don't think it's usable off the shelf, but that's just me.
Nothing comes close to the iphone for being able to buy and go, and
the reason I am on an iphone list is because I firmly believe that
still. If I wanted to bash idevices I would go to an android list
and do so; I am here to make it easier for myself and others to use
these phones, not complain that we should all stop buying them. I
frankly don't see the point of coming to a list for iphone support
and doing that.

Hi Alia,
You shouldn't have said this about not being able to buy an Android phone
off the shelf and not being able to use it. I bet you'll get a bunch of
replies from Android users on this list who will tell you that Android has
very good built-in accessibility and that the upcoming new Android release
is supposed to be even better. I absolutely think that is fantastic and I
absolutely hope Android accessibility improves further because competition
is a good thing. I will, however, stick with iOS because I am invested in
their eco system both with apps and other devices and feel it's still a
superior and more importantly a more secure platform.
