Your music have been heard by more people due to streaming, but it doesn't necessarily mean it was good enough (or the right type of music) for people to pay to come to see you in concert

You can write a audio, GPS, VOIP, etc app that does more than just do audio, GPS, VOIP, etc in the background. For example, you may think the app is only playing audio or doing GPS updates, but it can be badly-written and updating UI and/or other intense stuff. Now granted, iOS will still kill those apps if they start taking up too much memory/resources while in the background.

But I think the article is accurate, you shouldn't ever have to manage apps. iOS is night and day compared to Android's task management (where iOS is much better for users).

Will Android 4 still redraw everything when rotating the phone instead of animating?

This is not only a bad experience for users but also is one of the most difficult parts when developing Android apps.

apple also releases beta iOS and OS X for months in advance so developers can test and write apps against the new release.

but noticeably they don't unveil new hardware until it's ready and stable for the public. the knock on most competitors is that the overall experience is underwhelming or way too beta, which hardware is a big component.
