Steve spent years outlining what he feels the difference is between the
iPhone and Android in terms of useful functionality differences.
And yet, as far as we can tell from the >100 posts in this thread, there is
only a single functionality that is on the iPhone that isn't on Android.
Was that tremendous documentation effort by Steve all for naught?
Well, if MDM is on Steve's list, then yes.
But maybe Steve knows something (anything!) iOS can do that Android can't?
In a way I feel sorry for Steve, as he's overall a good guy, but he's too
desperate to claim things that his own bias strongly favors (e.g., Verizon
over T-mobile is a classic for Steve, as it appears MDM is also for Steve).
Whether or not Steve personally prefers iOS' MDM over Android's MDM...
*The fact is both iOS & Android have perfectly modern & robust MDM.*
_Period._
Whether or not Steve or anyone likes Apple's far lower-functionality MDM
(which may be easier to set up) or Android's much greater functionality
(with correspondingly more complex setup) is a topic for another thread.
The thought question for this particular thread topic is simply whether or
not there is anything functionally useful (other than the admittedly rather
useful ability to use privileged ports) that iOS has over Android.
This is a thought-provoking ground-breaking obvious question to ask...
Q: *Is there really only one thing an iPhone can do that Android can't do?*
A: ?
