another reason NOT to own an I-phone. Among many.
While no fan of Google either, at least with the Android OS I can remove what I don't like, and add an app for something I want or need.
And I can purchase a phone that will be more than sufficient for one third the cost of an I-phone.
Needless to say, my phone is not cluttered with useless and unwanted "stuff", and your own preferences will vary per individual tastes.
I am a working engineer, not a socialite....
