Seems more like an AT&T hate article. The iPhone is without sin though. I still want one.

I don't care what people say about the iPhone, I been an iPhone user for 2 1/2 years now and I wouldn't give it up for any other phone brand. Plus with all this complaints people have about AT&T customer service, I did got charged for some extra fees on my phone bill, but I just call and complain about the issue and it got resolved and removed. So I really don't have any problems with AT&T network.

I am very happy as well. It would take a super phone at this point to convince me to switch. Carrier is OK (Bell in Canada). Good 3G coverage for the most part. Not the fastest 3G however.

Is anything the article says now untrue?

Most likely. AT&T had a massive network build-out over the last two years.

The big point I got from the article was Apple practices at the iTunes App Store.

Are people still leaving iPhone because of that, two years later?

I don't think people were leaving 2 years ago either except some developer geeks. Its sort of like the premise that people will cancel SXM because of too many plays of Brown Eyed Girl on the 60s channel which has been argued on another board. Reality is for most users, it doesn't matter.

Doesn't mean the crux of the article is not still correct.
