I used to be a kind of "power user" that was constantly tinkering my phone, but late settled down to basically just install apps, use apps like everyone else.

Despite this, I still found iOS way too restricted even for average user. The fact you can't install 3rd party app alone makes certain daily task very miserable. I can't use Youtube vanced to skip ADs on YouTube, for example. The browsers suck due to forced webkit engine too.

I do think Apple's hardware and HW/SW integration better, and I think Android should be more open (every major version, you have fewer and fewer things you can modify without rooting).
