A good read—not what I was expecting. I won't spoil it for you but I do have a comment about Android totally off he subject of the article but dear to me to tell this community so indulge me would you?

A couple of days ago, over the EOL of Android post, I can't recall it's actual title, I commented that Android was EOL with me after trying it for the third time. I got several downvotes. Maybe I wasn't clear so let me say this: I tried android when it was new and its UI was not clear and unpleasant. I went back to iPhone iOS of whatever it was back then. Time passed and I tried it again with similar results; back to iPhone/iOS. Then I wanted something new but tried Android again and it was, again, bad. But instead of going to iPhone, I went for Windows Phone and really enjoyed it. Time passed and I could see that it was failing and when my bank stopped their support I knew I had to leave it for... iPhone. This is present day. So now, my shared name for my phone is "I'm a sheep it's an iPhone". This should tell you my feelings.

End-the-end I do look forward to "what's next" but it can't come soon enough. I should add I did try webOS early on say 2012 I think and it was a gem. Golden. But when they did that splashy, live dev even in SD and they didn't give the attendees a free phone to develop on, I knew it too was over.

Well, until the next thing comes along I'll just be with the best there is to date and that's Apple's iPhone.
