Lets review!
A phone with a POS operating system that most won’t even update to, for FREE!
I know that this may surprise you...BUT YOU ARE WRONG.

Really, you want to talk about fragmentation?!! THAT is not a strong point of Android. So, i suggest that you keep your mouth shut on this one! I have the latest OS...DO YOU??
"Overall, this data points to Apple doing an outstanding job of keeping their user base up-to-date with the latest OS," said Chitika Insights, who did the research. "By comparison, Google's latest data shows only 22 per cent of its users being on its two most recent versions of Android. [Note: this means that ONLY 22% of Android users are either on the old ICS or new JB...THAT is horrid!!]
"Apple's performance in this area is a great selling point for mobile advertisers, as well as website and application developers, who can all confidently optimize their mobile properties to take advantage of the latest iOS capabilities without fear of shutting out a large portion of the user base," the report concludes."
A phone with a POS Maps program
Agreed. But, then again, Apple has plenty of cash to fix this problem quickly.
A phone with a POS camera that has problems when a light is in the picture.
YET, this iPhone has beated GS3 in almost all camera comparos. Strange, isn't it?! As for the "flare", you have to be an idiot to keep on shooting pictures facing the sun!! Again, this flare problem applies to all cameras. See PROFESSIONAL OPINION ABOVE.

A phone that has poor build quality - scratches easily and light leaks out of the display.
It is called ANODIZED ALUMINUM. You are truly blinded if you think that GS3 has better build quality! Drop test sure shows the fragility of the GS3!!!

Ouch!
A phone that most apps have to be redesigned for the new puny screen (wonder what that will cost).
Actually, it is fairly easy...as many apps now are both 4S and 5 compliant!

Let me ask you Koz...are all Android apps made ONLY for your 4.8" screen?? No. This is a major problem for Android because there are a zillion screen sizes that developers have to accomodate! Like the software "issue" you brought up above, you need to look in the mirror first! D'oh! Dumb horrible argument on your part! It shows your total lack of understanding!
A phone with a POS proprietary connector that will not even allow most old accessories to work (designed only for Apple). And the ones that will work need a proprietary adapter you have to buy (if you can find one).
Again, you're an idiot. Enough said. You refuse to understand the logic behind it. If you refuse to understand the logic and technology behind it, then all is lost in your mind because you're too blind.
That's OK, you can have your USB...hopefully the computer will eventually find the driver for it! I can insert my Apple cord into any computer and be able to pull up pictures from it INSTANTLY.
A phone that you have jailbreak (and void the warranty) to customize and have to redo with every update.
Rooting does not void warranty? Yes, it does. Unlocking the boatloader will for sure. Beware - if you do root (but not unlock) that you need to make sure you do not uninstall any stock apps or you will not be able to update to newer firmware OTA (you can disable them with ICS and not have to worry). Any OTA updates will most likely break root, but you can backup and restore root wit the OTA Rootkeeper.
A battery that if fails bricks the phone!
And how often does that occur with Li-ion?? Grabbing at straws, aren't you?! Strange how Moto RAZR, Windows phone, and other phones with strong battery life do NOT have removable battery. Weird, no? Coincidence?
A phone that if you run out of memory you need to buy a new one for double the cost!
See Google's explanation for deletion of microSD. YOUR own people are getting rid of them. Get with the news dude.

syncing only – no drag & drop
Cloud service.
No - barometer
And yet, it is SAMSUNG that has GPS issues!! Shocking!
No - wireless charging
Do you have the pad for it?? Take a picture of it with KOZ name on a piece of paper. Or is this like your Jellybean dream? And is it really that hard to plug in your phone? Damn, so much work.
No – Adobe flash (Snowflake’s favorite)
DEAD TECHNOLOGY. Show me your proof of FLASH and stock JB. Oh wait, you can't because YOU DON'T HAVE JB!!! Hahaha...loser!
No – browser choices
There are plenty of browsers on iOS...but unfortunately, Safari is the best...by far in terms of smoothness and speed...something that Chrome has some catching up to do on smartphones!! It is just embarrassing when iPhone 4S Safari runs faster than GS3!!
No - phone book integration
hahaha...see above notes by me in regard to moronic Contact organization on ICS and JB!! You are kidding, aren't you?! ICS/JB phone book are horrifically complex for no fukking reason!
No – HDMI/DLNA
Sure...good luck in using that. I rather use Airplay or BT for games. And sorry, most smartphone pictures don't deserve to be on a big screen!
No – microSD
Yeah, wait for it...wait for it...GOOGLE: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1168583-post62.html
No – microUSB
Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...your computer will eventually find that damn driver one of these days....
No – widgets
No thanks...had them...had to delete them to save battery.
No - NFC
Good luck in finding a use for that...ATT, TMo, and Verizon are doing their own thing due to security reasons.

(Best for last) – NO BACK BUTTON!
Hint: a properly designed app or stock app don't need one. Only Android's stupidly overcomplex menu and submenu systems need one. THINK ABOUT IT Koz before responding. For example, on iOS Contacts, there is a BACK button on the screen. There is a BACK button when there is a need. Otherwise, iOS is very simple to use that you simply don't need one...just need one main button. Simplicity is beautiful, isn't it?? Despite "lack of BACK button," iOS is universally revered for its simplicity and ease of use.
