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.

You use touch ID. Another thing Apple did right.

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.

The update isn't that big
