    So when you kill someone while on your iPhone and your phone gets wet from the water from the firemen – just don’t believe Apple when the Apple website gurus tell you your memories are lost and can’t be retrieved – another very mean spirited Apple policy – a total lie.
    This is where Apple could brick phones inside a car but don’t care at all about the 400,000 accidents a year caused by distraction or the 4000 that die.
    Incidentally, I don’t think iOS statistically exceeds Android on any metric do they? ????

    Is this 2X texting hands-on or via Siri?

    Actually, Siri won’t let me « text » while driving. « Hey Siri, text Jennifer » ‘Sorry but you will have to unlock your phone first’. « Hey Siri, message Jennfier » ‘What would you like to say to Jennifer?’
