It's Apple Day - Get ready for a game changer.

Interesting...but inaccurate. I had automatic brightness on my Galaxy Nexus. One-press rotation lock and do-not-disturb have been available via apps for ages - I know, because I used both on my GN.
Lockscreen notifications is a curious one to claim, seeing as the notification bar has been able to support quick-view for ages, and if that's not exactly how you want to interpret it lockscreen widgets have been available since (I think) 4.2.
There is a difference between 'capable via 3rd-party app but not included in vanilla Android' vs 'flat-out impossible' - and to keep things fair, I'm comparing capabilities available without rooting/jailbreaking.

How and by who exactly? It's an end user issue, not an Apple issue. Besides, the solution is simply and really shows this is a non-issue.
Apple users can avoid the need to free up storage space for the latest update by upgrading their software via iTunes on a Mac or PC, instead of through the phone or tablet itself.

Bloody iP5 really has packed up now.
Wobbly battery meant it kept switching itself off (by shaking it, I could get it to turn on again) but now I just cannot turn it on again even when plugged in.
I do hope the iP6 is much better made because I've had far too many issues with this 5 - new on/off button, new screen, new charge port, the aux port is dead and now a wobbly battery that's bu99ered it up.
Grrrrrr….

The users shouldn't have to worry about such a menial thing in the 1st place! And also why should they have to do it via itunes/pc. I guess what I'm getting at is why is the update so god dam huge, its a ridiculous size for a smartphone update.
