A bit different opinion, just mine of course.  In business, I've been using Windows-based PC's for ages, and still do.  My wife is an Apple fanboy (fangirl?), and probably even has an Apple tatoo somewhere that I've not seen (hahaha). If you're not an Apple user in other spaces, and you don't need to have an everything-Apple life (such as tablets, cloud, watches, smart speakers, photo apps, smart TV, etc.), my recommendation would be for an Android based unit.  Apple is still a closed environment, no open source for development by others, so the variety of things that you can tie your Android to and communicate with is much broader, as well as a bit more familiar to you for sure.  The current Windows 10 environment is quite secure with the built-in security program, and works well with Android-based apps.  As for Google, the current generation of Windows browsers (Edge) have just gone to a Chromium-based system, which also works well with Androids, of course, and seamlessly integrates.  Again, I'm a Google/Android fan for those reasons and many more.  Apple creates its own UI and language, and is unique in its user experience.  If that's what you're used to, its fine.  If not, you should look into the current line of great Android-based products. Hope this helps....

Seeing this a lot....on my Razr MAXX HD, I actually see a slight improvement with KK update, to about 2.5 days from 2 days average on battery.  I do keep GPS generally off, and am usually near wireless, however.  Also have an app called "Battery Saver" that helps.

Just saw your post....had same issues with the card unmounting, etc., also access door didn't quite fit right.  Key was using the Verizon microSD card tool.  The pin unlocks the drawer, of course, but you must use the other side of the tool to push the microSD card further into the slot.  It fully seats, and the outside end of the card is not near the opening of the slot, in fact it almost disappears into the slot.  Reverse procedure to remove, of course.  Can't believe it was such a simple solution, as the card "feels" seated when it's really not.
