@Tsaukpaetra I have several three-year-old cousins who've bruteforced and then remembered passcodes to their (idiot) parents' phones.

I would think that's rather hard if something like this was presented them.
Then again, if they're using predictable passwords a 3 year-old can guess, they deserve to be hacked by them.

Android has better features than iPhone. The iPhone of today has features at about the same quality that Androids had like four years ago.
I'll say this as someone who likes android and would avoid iPhone whereever possible:
lolnope
I can't think of a single thing any stock, non-rooted Android I've ever used does better than the stock iPhones I've used.
File system. Non store apps. Custom launchers. Launcher widgets. Custom SMS apps. Barebones NFC/Bluetooth transfer. Printer support. Just to name a few.

the Kids Corner required the same password to unlock screen as regular mode, making it effectively useless for children over 2.
Your kids age 3 can unlock your phone?
When I was 3, I've had little problem navigating filesystem and launching games in DOS. I expect nothing less from my future kids.

Pics or it didn't happen.

@Tsaukpaetra I mean, I don't believe that myself. All I have is my mother's stories. Though I know for sure that by the age of 4, I was very fluent at reading, and at using Norton Commander and Windows 3.1.

From what I can recover of my personal memories, I believe I was only disassembling (and correctly re-assembling! That TV was already damaged when I got it!) things at that age....

@Tsaukpaetra just what kind of parents let their 4 year old kid disassemble a TV! It's one of the most dangerous household appliances, right after refrigerator!

One of my first "smart phones" pre android, allowed previewing text messages, but I didn't get charged for reading the message unless I opened it.
So, I just asked people to keep their texts short, and I was never charged for reading a text message.
Over here you only got charged for sending texts, not for receiving them. Same with calls.
The prices per text were outrageous enough as is.

Oh, I also won't tell you why a certain piece of vital reproductive equipment has the appearance of surgical reattachment...

Yeah and a pencil can also do "about" the same stuff and it's only a few pennies.
I can call someone, take pictures, browse the net and run apps on my pencil?
You can draw yourself doing that. And much more!

Get ready to be disappointed.

@TimeBandit I remember seeing an episode of Rugrats ages ago where the parents (don't remember name of any character in that show) had been visited by an insurance agent and were talking about house insurance. They were asking about all kinds of bizarre scenarios like a tornado, a swarm of African wasps, and a meteor, and the agent assured them it would all be covered. In the meantime, kids were being kids, and managed to cause so much damage that when the agent noticed it, he snatched all the papers he gave out and ran out of the house as fast as he could.
