toyiness iOS
I mean really, why would people think that, just because it doesnt have convoluted menu systems and stuff the majority of people dont use in the menu systems, this makes it toyish? I mean for the minority that want advanced features just jailbreak. Covers all bases that way.

It's more likely something the geeks would use to justify why something else is better.

Most people i know jailbreak their iphones to get round apples stupid restrictions. I wouldn't say nowadays its the minority that do it either. Its a very common practise. I don't think iOS looks toyish. Outdated, yes. |

Because they can't accept that the majority of people don't.
In actual fact, when rooting/jailbreaking first started yes it was a minority but more and more people are doing it. |

The percentage of jailbroken iPhones is less than 10%, so that's still a definite minority.

You cant possibly know that and neither can anyone else.
Of 40+ people I know with iPhones or iPads, there are 6 who have jailbroken, but I know a lot of geeks. Of the ordinary people I know who have iPhones, which is definitely the majority, none of them have jailbroken. It's not just companies that work with iOS that have that info. Android Market collects stats on OS version usage, device language, country location etc. |

You can't know for certain, but you can estimate based upon facts we know and analysis, just like we can with everything else. It's thought that the figure is around 10%, people who go on computer and phone forums regularly are always surprised by this figure because all they see all day is discussion of tech stuff. They tend to work with or have a group of friends with similar interests or similar age group and they assume that's representative, when in fact it's not. |

Folk who want more from their phone 'break' them, simple.
