Why is it that people always complain about iPhone and iOS but no one can reconstruct these things "issues". I had 4 iPhones till this day with all iOS Versions on the market and I never, ever saw or heard a problem about "springboard is crashing 5 times a day". NEVER.

That does not however mean that no one is having issues. This is a common fallacy repeated ad-infinitum on boards - if I can't detect or experience something it must not be happening. Google even auto completes ios 5 spr... to springboard crash. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16539394#16539394 has more than one person confirming this.

If you look at Settings->About->Diagnostics data (or something close) - you will see a sizable list of crashed programs and OS components.

Is that enough "evidence" for you? :) (I actually hated writing this to be honest - never understand what reason people have to doubt universally accepted things like crashing software!)

I can tell you why. Cause there are a lot of people who are just talking BS to harm the other "group". I will repeat it till my dead I never had any issues with Macs, iPhones, iPads and iPods. I can't reconstruct issues people have and until I see a iPhone which crashes 5 times a day I won't believe it.

Plus if you have so much trouble with you phone, what about calling Apple and telling them your issue. When I called last time because a failure they send me immediately a brand new device. Sorry mate but something seems odd.

I don't want to attack you personal, it just seems that a lot of people are trying to talk BS about Apple products.

'Last time' seems to indicate that you come across a number of failures. Which particular device are you talking about here?

That is the nature of bug reports. I was baffled by the reports that Android UI is "laggy" because I have never experienced this nor had anyone I know complained about it. That doesn't necessarily mean it is not happening to the reporter.

There are many many Android smartphones with many many different hardware stats. Even with low hardware stats to be cheap at the selling point. I can understand that this can lead to a lot of bug reports but if you have 5 devices and a handful of OS versions this is way better testable and fixable.

I could say "I can't reconstruct issues people have and until I see an Android device with laggy UI I won't believe it," but I won't.
