Is CNET lying when
they say the YouTube app isn't included by default and needs to be downloaded from the App Store and placed as an option, per the
instructions these other liars offer?
Of course, this isn't as big of a deal as the other missing app, Google Maps, but in Apple's defense, there are workarounds to get some decent third-party maps on the iPhone as well. With just a few more tweaks and hacks, you can fix the WiFi and light leak glitch, then you can buy an adapter to make your old ones work and you can get a protector for the phone that will help mitigate the fact it is scratched more easily than competing phones. As long as you've purchased a model with enough memory to suit you (remember, Apple won't let you change/expand/remove memory like other phones), you'll have a good device... as you should, given that its' the most expensive phone available.

For Android 4.x, it is a *non* issue for all intensive purposes. If you're looking to buy an older low-end Android phone running 2.x, it's something to consider because when Android was in its infancy, there were some issues, but as long as you're looking at 4.x you can disregard.
