You know that people like you are exception. I was like that when i was 18-19, but those days are long behind.
The last 10 or so posts shows exactly why there are pros that come along with all the platforms.
I personally favor using OSX and Android. But both Windows and iOS can also get the job done for the majority of users. Same with Linux distros.

I'm trying to avoid pain not look for it. I also happen to already use most friendly unix system on this planet, so i'm covered.
I completely agree on the automation side of things, and yes android is way ahead on that but that's only because it being an open platform. I'm concerned about security on some of these automated systems to be honest. Although I do want to try it out. Not to mention, I don't hate android as a platform. In fact I use multiple android phones on a daily basis. I just don't like pretentious people who think they're mini Einsteins just because they use android.
Per usual you find some way out of the earth use case. My phone is a tool to make my life easier, which it does. I get in my car and hit siriusxm on the radio done, then hit the home button to get an update on my cars display on traffic and routing. When I get home I charge my phone leave it in the office and take my iPad into the living room for some casual browsing. There I get my messages and phone calls and if needed I can call from my iPad.
What is out of the world case? Don't many people stream music when they enter their car and use GPS? When I get in my car I don't hit anything. Just drive. This is just one instance. There are so many other things you can do. But Apple keeps you caged so you wouldn't know.

Agree with your whole statement. The security issue shouldn't be a problem. The user creates all to triggers and what happens when and where. Only drawback with automation is that it takes a while to set up.
I definitely want to try automation to be incorporated in my lifestyle more. Do you mostly use IFTTT to setup the rules? I use that now to use with my iOS device to some extent.
I'll grant you I don't know because I don't want to tinker with my phone; I do enough tinkering all day long. That's why I buy my cars with nav and Sirius and I don't kill the battery on long trips.
And, you completely ignored my use case of using my iPad to make and receive text messages and calls.
Each platform has different strengths, I like the closed positioning of iOS personally.
You use your iPad to make and receive calls? Then this will be you when they remove the headphone jack from the ipad too!

The iPad doesn't have a ear peace so holding to your head makes no sense. Also you do know about speakerphone correct? When you answer the phone on your iPad you can leave it on the desk you don't have to pick it up. Just saying.
KDE or Gnome or other GUIs don't interest me and why when i have OS X and all the command line tools i need are the same on both or if i miss something i can install from macports or compile myself. I don't see a point in using linux whatsoever.
I showed you one example. Obviously you could find other ways in your day to day routine.
I ignored your use case because you can do the same thing on android with android tablets. Although might not be as seamless as Apple.
Yep that is exactly what I use. I usually just go on the forums and copy others ifttt because I am lazy Lol.
I think you gotta use what just fit you the most for how you use your phone. I love my 6s+ and my S7 edge and my Note 5 and my......
Just use what you like the best. Doesn't matter who makes it......
I agree with this completely. I love so much of the tech out there right now. Currently using a 6s Plus, but would have no issue using an Android phone. People make one side or the other out to be some God. If it makes your life better or easier, then use it. But if something else makes someone else's life better or easier, then you should support that too. I'm sure 99.9% of us in here get no money from Apple, Google, Samsung, et al. So I don't understand the unabashed love for one side or the other.
Bluetooth is the way to go. Funny!You use your iPad to make and receive calls? Then this will be you when they remove the headphone jack from the ipad too!
