    3. Apple removed the ubiquitous *headphone jack* (it was "courageous")

    Of the 296 high-end phones released in the last 3 years, only 77 have headphone jacks:

    And how many phones have all three of these supposedly "industry standard" features?

    Why just 27 ... which is 9%:

    YMMV, but when 91% of current industry products don't offer what Arlen claims are "industry standard"
    features, its pretty easy to figure out that Arlen is wrong.

    One only needs to see Arlen pontificating - yet again - about iPhones, to realize that he is wrong.

    Like every troll on usenet, he clearly knows nothing about the topic that
    he is clearly totally obsessed with.

    He really puts the Kook in iKook.
