You aren't being attacked. What you consider a valid concern just doesn't really register with anyone as a concern. And even turning the phone off every night, one minute longer doesn't really make or break anything. If so, just set your alarm for one minute earlier then.

You made a statement that boot times were poor by any standard and subsequently that Apple does the same thing and boots faster. BlackBerry fans may have some counter points or opposing opinions to contribute. As long as the conversation is being conducted in a cordial way, without insults, I would think it's fair game.
By the way, a BlackBerry would never allow another OS to be loaded on its devices - no jailbreak, no modified rom. A BlackBerry would also fail to boot if any system file had been altered. So obviously something very different is happening during a BlackBerry boot cycle.
Or set the Do Not Disturb options.
Then it is on in case of emergency.
First of all, why are iPhone lovers trolling on a BlackBerry DTEK50 thread?
As for boot up times, are you guys friken serious?????
I had a iPhone 6 for 6 months and find this DTEK50 superior on all fronts. I hate iOS for its keyboard, email, contacts, calendar integration, auto correct sucks. And no expandable memory!
The app Store and ITunes are not integrated and a pain to use. What is that about?
I dumped my whole Apple ecosystem for Google Cast. What a treat compared to Apple's at half the cost.
Anyway, we are talking about a few seconds longer on boot up. Worth it to not use a barely changed Apple iOs in over 8 years.

Unfortunately your opinion is not even valid. Your one of those that comes here just to bash blackberry. Your not adding any value on this thread.
Then why not turn yours on while your putting on your under wear. this way you wouldn't notice the boot time.
A minute and 25 seconds, I don't mind the waiting time. I got used to the z10 boot time so that's something. Lol!
Oh and maybe there are other processes that the DTEK has while booting as compared to the iPhone. I wouldn't know, just a guess.

How about back in the days with the BB Curve and Bolds? ~5-10 minute boot times.
Since the DTEK's storage is encrypted out of the box, it's understandable for the longer boot time than the average Android. My Galaxy S5 was quick to boot until I encrypted the device then it takes ~2 minutes to boot.
To be fair though, the iPhone is a superb phone in my opinion. I've had to use them at certain points through work but I was a BlackBerry user before the first iPhone came out, which is why I hold a soft spot for BlackBerry and have supported them to this day. But comparing the DTEK50 to the iPhone SE or any iPhone isn't fair - just look at the price difference. I think pound-for-pound the DTEK50 is fantastic! And as a Day 1 BB10 user, I'm used to the long bootup time :-) I can see how it might initially frustrate someone new to BlackBerry and used to quicker times though.
I don't get it either. I pretty much never turn off my phone...

There's a lot of verification and security things that get performed at boot up for BB devices. I guess if gaining that minute of your life is more important than those things, then get another phone.

Actually, your valid point is being met with valid counterpoints...

Any source for all these claims? I highly doubt Apple is on the way to get rid of the Home button. On the contrary they are working on improving it by having a flat button using 3D Touch. Rumour has it that it might come as soon as iPhone 7
Not sure about the rest of the claims made in the post you responded to but the Apple removal of the home button has been rumored for some time. The other claims I can't speak to.

Can't stand Home buttons. When I go from using my daughters Samsung helping her with things to using a DTEK50 I'm in complete heaven :). Home buttons are a complete waste of space except for finger scanning which is a gimmick for convenience only. (Just google how easy to hack)
Home buttons are 2007 technology

The rumour was based on leaked pics of what is believed to be the iPhone 7 with a flush screen... but we all know now that they are not removing the home button in the foreseeable future. They will instead use a 3D Touch home button
I liked back then when HTC and MOTO has no home button. Now they both do. :-(
Rumours about no homebutton seems a lost when apple announced something different about the homebutton. That is what rumours are
OMG. As much as Apple has spent it's life copying others and acting like it's their idea, who cares about a home button? I mean, really.
Agreed. We don't have a home button and I have no problem without it. :)

But, why not? What you need to appreciate is that people use their phones differently. That's how it is. You can't expect me to use my phone like you do - because i'm not you. And I don't want to be. I'll use it how I use it. Enough of the sarcasm anyway.
But you're not really using the phone when it's off, lol. I'm just joking around anyway, just don't see any benefit at all in turning the phone off. There was a time where turning the phone off or restarting your phone had real benefits, but I don't find any of those issues anymore. My phone stays on 24/7 and works the same as if I would turn it off every night. So why bother with the headache is what I wonder...

I totally get that. It makes sense. I don't do it for any special benefit as such. I do it to save power. Whilst i'm asleep, i'm not using the phone. It's pointless being on - no one is going to contact me at times when i'm asleep and even if they do, I wont see it until the following day. There's no point me losing battery % when I can simply switch it off, then back on in the morning. Hope that explains it a bit better :-)
