[QUOTE="MadScience2006, post: 226912, member: 1356"] I agree 100%. I would never use, nor trust an iDevice like I do a Mac/PC for many reasons, including iOS itself and it's instability over the past few versions (since iOS 6 mostly). Every release brings new bugs/issues/inconsistencies/etc. Many issues never get resolved and are shoved under the rug. There's no actual user accessible file system...Apple have been locking things down consistently on iOS rather than opening things up...things that were once easy to do (if you had the software), for example accessing/backing up TPA scores via iFunBox or other file management apps are now impossible if you're not jailbroken. With iOS, you have no definitive 100% accurate backups being performed. Apple & the developers would love to have you believe everything is being backed up...in reality, it's not. I can't tell you the disappointment my kid faces and goes through every time we upgrade an iDevice or have to restore from a "backup". Despite backing up religiously to iTunes every week and immediately before the restore, not everything is indeed backed up...and there's no damn way to tell until you suddenly lose your game progress or critical data made over years time. I use iOS devices as entertainment devices, not work tools. The PC/Mac is for that. I simply don't trust iOS for anything "mission critical". But Tim Cook seems to think otherwise: [url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/11984806/Apples-Tim-Cook-declares-the-end-of-the-PC-and-hints-at-new-medical-product.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
