I used an apple phone for the first time at work, they gave us apple phones.
I was blown away when I realized you can't just dump any old file on it, because I'm used to plugging in my android phone and throwing on some files like it's any other removable storage. Not so with apple phones, incredibly limited.
See, I used to flash firmware for copy machines from my phone. Like if I went out to a site and didn't prepare firmware before going I could just download it on my phone and flash from that.
The apple phone couldn't do a bunch of stuff that I always thought was standard smartphone things. Also couldn't display cell and wifi reception in decibels, and I used to do informal site surveys with my phone. Nope, apple can't do that either, "bars" aren't a good metric to wrote down.
That thing was about damn useless except to be used as a phone and an mp3 player.
