  Has Firefox switched back to Gecko on iOS or is it just another webkit skin?

    Not yet unfortunately. Sideloading and non-webkit browsers are what could sway me towards iPhone at some point but until then I’m sticking with Android.

    Such a shame to pay for great hardware, only for it to be artificially held back by idiotic software for the sake of market segmentation.

      Man if we could put open source software/OS’s on an iPhone and freely develop for them…I can’t even imagine what these things would be capable of. I know it’s not very popular to say anything nice about Apple, but the simple fact of the matter is that iPhones work incredibly well and, as y’all have said, the hardware is good for many years.
