Ye olde Facebook status in Czech. If you are from the Slavic tribe, you may understand this:
Nechápu, jak můžou/mohly bejt iShity tak populární, když:
* nemaj díru na paměťový karty (je potřeba adaptér okupující slot pro nabíječku - jedinej, kterej tam je)
* nemaj snímatelný kryt (když chce člověk vyndat baterku, když se to sekne)
* bez jailbreaku jsou možnosti iOS omezenější než u nerootnutýho Androida (nelze stahovat aplikace z cizích zdrojů a iStore chce moc údajů)
* příliš velký rozlišení naprd (když máte tlustý prsty, jste nahraný stejně)
* mají málo tlačitek (ze Sony Ericssonů jsem zvyklej na tlačítko pro návrat)
* nemají hardwareovou klávesnici (když se iOSu kousne driver pro dotykovou obrazovku)
* obsahují enormní množství kurvítek (třeba ta nevyměnitelná baterka)
* na to, že je to vlastně hračka, to stojí příliš mnoho (polovinu průměrný výplaty)

Now the English, quite more detailed version:
NO MEMORY CARD SLOT
All computer-like devices should have some kind of expandable or exchangeable memory. This is for the facilitation of importing music/picture/video libraries. Transferring it over Bluetooth would take ages, especially with my 160 GB of communism (and 40 GB FLACs), according to one RIAA poster. I am left-oriented as my entire family is, so suck that, capitalist pigs and copyfuckers. Oink Oink. Back to topic. When you want your iShit to read your memory card, you have to connect an expensive adapter into the only slot, meaning, you can not charge the phone simultaneously. My old Sony Ericsson W890i charger has an additional port in the charger connector, so it is possible to use headphones, as it has no Line Out, and charge the phone. It also has the memory card slot already, supporting up to 8 GB, I think.
YOU HAVE TO INSTALL THEIR SOFTWARE JUST TO COPY YOUR SONGS IN
People want simplicity. That means, when someone copies their songs at least into folder named "music", the device is expected to find it or access it and play it. Not to install some closed-source software just to copy even one song. There is no open-source alternative as nobody is allowed to make one, so thou shalt not decompileth nor even disassembleth thy copy or they shalt sueth thee and thy life shalt be eternally ruineth.
NO REPLACEABLE BATTERY
If the iOS hangs or gets stuck in an infinite loop and the power button won't help, what are you supposed to do? Even Nokia 3310 has a replaceable battery. Not even a Task Manager, like in Windows. Better replace it with screenshot feature, when pressing the home and power button. When your iShit's dead and you are not able to put it on the charger, you should be able to use your friend's battery, if it is the same type. Or if the battery explodes (the rest of iShit would be somehow still functional) or spills out (I mean like rust, in Czech we say "vytéct") or just breaks and you don't want to pay the people at Apple service just to change the battery, because they also reset your phone to factory settings and wipe all the data. Because it doesn't have a slot to accept a memory card, which could be taken off before handing it, the contents will be lost. The only thing you can replace on iPhone is the case. Very useful.
WITHOUT JAILBREAK LESS OPTIONS THAN NOT ROOTED ANDROID
Downloading apps from iStore requires inputting credit card information. How about if I don't want to use the paid apps? And without jailbreak, I can not even install the package from somewhere else. I haven't also found any intelligent file manager like those for Android.
TOO MUCH PIXELS FOR NOTHING
Apple devices usually have high DPI. But what for? The only thing that matters in these days is the screen size. Everything is now rendered in vectors, that means relative sizes. If someone has fat fingers, they are screwed, when they have to type something on iPhone, because they keep pressing different regions of the screen. Styluses were coming with touch-screens phones like 5 years ago and people usually lost it somewhere.
TOO FEW BUTTONS
Ever since Nokias and Sony Ericssons, I'm used to that phones have 8 buttons: Power, Left Button, Right Button, Volume Up, Volume Down, Back (either an special key like Escape or one of the 3 action keys), Backspace (labeled C or <x|) and Camera Shutter. Plus a numeric keyboard and cursor "keys". The Left and Right buttons and backspace aren't necessary for touchscreen, that means, 5 buttons. Androids have 7: Home, Back, Menu, Power, Volume Up, Volume Down and Camera Shutter. Some have even Search, but that could be used better. iShits have 5: Home (not Back), Power, Volume Up, Volume Down, Camera Shutter.
NO HARDWARE KEYBOARD MODELS
Ever since 1981, a PC has always had a keyboard. If someone tried to boot without a keyboard, it halted and displayed: "Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue." I'm used to it for nearly 16 years I live, that I have to press a physical key, not just tap somewhere on the touchscreen. Besides, it doesn't have the numeric row and arrows. Plus, the Japanese keyboard is not effective to use, since it has the keys ordered alphabetically, the kana is ordered by the 50 sounds rule and not being converted as you type phonetically in (Q)WERTY, like in Android.
OVERPRICED FOR HOW THEY ARE CUSTOMIZABILE
It's better to buy a cheap MP3 player for $40, than an iPod for $400. It will do everything that you expect it to do - play your MP3s. The cost to make 1 iPhone package is around 3000 Kč, that means $150, the "discounted" price of the 16 GB model. Also if you want a durable phone and use it only for calls and SMS (there were competitions held how fast people could write 160 (correct) characters using the numeric keyboard), buy an old Nokia. You can even use it as a kind of weapon, because it is unlikely to cease operating even after dropping it from 3rd floor to asphalt.
"Who wants porn, let them buy an Android device." -- Steve Jobs (reportedly, as true as Bill Gates saying "640k ought to be enough for anyone.")
EDIT: I've read iShits have a good DAC (www.kenrockwell.com/apple/iphone-5/audio-quality.htm), but what for if you have use Apple's iTunes (or some other managers, if they are around, but not direct copy and expect it will find the files, it's too stupid in this way) to import some music and it doesn't even play FLAC (nor even MID, which Androids can) which is more widespread and open than ALAC. WAVs or AIFFs are for pussies, it's like 20 years old format, uncompressed at all. The only use is the FM-radio, which I rarely listen to. The touchscreen won't work well for DAWs or recording apps, because with exception of iPad it's too small. It's also better to have a mouse and keyboard, at least for me as a PC user/gamer.
iMac is also only better iPad without some buttons and touchscreen (will have certainly soon), and with keyboard and mouse wirelessly connected, that means if battery dies and you play a game, you are screwed. Having Apple products means vendor lock-in and magically working devices with cool look that can not be upgraded. This is why the IBM-PC will live forever. It's better if one company specializes at one component (Intel and AMD - CPUs, nVidia and AMD - GPUs, Western Digital - HDDs, Kingston - RAMs etc.) and that components are great than company producing entire systems with exclusive components that are not compatible with normal ones. The PC is like Unicode, one standard to rule them all.

Sice se v iShitech ukrývá digital-to-analog převodník, jenž by uspokojil leckterého audiofila, nicméně je uvězněn v zařízení, které není schopné prohledat se pro hudební soubory a musí se do toho cpát přes iTunes nebo něco podobného. Krom toho také na nejailbreaknutých iShitech jsou nižší možnosti, než na nerootnutém Androidu. Rovněž mi není známé, že by Apple prodával iPhone s vysouvací klávesnicí, kterou velmi používám a dokáže dát androidí homescreen naležato. Android je otevřenější platforma. A známý citát Benjamina Franklina: Ti, kdo se vzdají svobody pro pocit bezpečí, nebudou a ani si nezaslouží ani jedno z toho.
Nechápu, jak můžou/mohly bejt iShity tak populární, když:
