You buy a phone which iPhone take it out of the box BUT you cant use it Until you ask for permission from Apple through iTunes, doesnt matter even if you already have paid for it,
You cannot then download any app until you give Apple a Credit or Debit Card Details,(Reason they need your ID)
You cannot download copy or share your OWN Music Personal Photos or Videos Without permission of Apple Through iTunes,
You cannot set a personalize ringtone again without asking iTunes,
and so on...

Two important things.
There is not replaceable battery as a condition because Apple even if apparently iPhone is switched off can still access your location and data.
There is no External Memory Card option as this will able innocent iUser to transport there personal Data without permission of Apple, etc


I MEAN NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE JUST SHARING WHAT I THINK

You can download an app without credit or debit card details - just setup a free account.
Battery can be replaced if needed but nt as easy as a Nokia battery swap, and no once your phone is off no one can track you or your data.

iTunes has actually gotten better over the years, i agree it takes some getting used to but then it works quite well. Also once everything is setup you hardly ever need it, you can do everything on the phone. Syncing/backup can be done -automatically- over wifi (or iCloud).

The permission bit is annoying but I guess it's all legal stuff, I doubt it would be any different with android etc (you prob automatically agree to t&c's once you start using that without notification, at least apple warns you)
You can setup an apple ID and download apps without a credit card (just google how to).

The answer to all these; there's an app for that. So yes you can do all those things but you prob will need to download an app or some software.

That's just not true and the battery can be replaced/removed.

You can use ext mem cards if you get an adapter (apple even sell them).

How are you feeling now?
Glad you got that of your chest, being your first post an all

Only true statements in that post, and tbh it needed more colours.

OP if you hate that phone so much I'll take it off your hands & I won't charge you!

its TRUE
A leaked NSA document proves that the agency is capable of easily deploying spyware on all iPhones and can have access to user data including SMS messages, contacts, and even a user's location by utilizing cell tower information. What's even scarier is that the NSA can remotely access an iPhone's camera and microphone that is infected with the spyware.
According to the leaked intel, the initiative, named DROPOUT JEEP, began in October of 2008. The document delineates that the NSA would need physical access to the device in order to install the software, which doesn't sound too bad.

However, the German Magazine, Der Spiegel, which also published the DROPOUT JEEP data, believes that the NSA rerouted shipments of brand new iPhones before they went out to consumers to install the spyware. Even worse, there was some speculation a while back from Edward Snowden, that suggests Apple may have allowed the NSA access to their products. The news was reported by Jacob Applebaum, who has a more detailed lecture (that he gave yesterday) about DROPOUT JEEP and the state of cell phone spyware today. You can watch it here.
It's harrowing enough to think that the NSA is infecting iPhones without Apple's knowledge. It's even more harrowing if Apple is helping the US government to spy on its customers. We will provide more info on this story as it develops.
