Why are you arguing semantics on something which you're obviously just wrong on? Even if you're right, a semantics argument is weak - we can play around and define words all day.
The smartphone has replaced the home computer for most people. Period.
Them being locked down is a profiteering and rent seeking strategy - not a user experience one. It SHOULD be open, and we're feeling the effects when that's not the case.

My worldview is just fine - I get frustrated when people know they're wrong and decide to play stupid instead of rethinking their reasoning.
A smartphone is not a washing machine, it's a personal computer. If you want to debate that that's fine - I don't really care if you're wrong, just know that pretty much nobody will agree with you.

Gosh, it must be hard to understand people with the stance like that.
And, as if bestowed upon me by God himself, here comes the absolute lack of arguments. I guess if you scrape the bottom of the barrel you eventually run out of barrel!
Please, go tell someone else about how the iPhone is basically a Samsung washing machine and that's why Apple is allowed to do whatever anti-consumer behavior they want. I'm sure they'd love to hear it.
