Letter from Android phone:

Are you feeling nervous, Apple?

Running out of ideas? I can't help but notice your latest iterations of the iPhone are pretty much the same as before.

Ahem, and I'm sure you've noticed that most first-time smartphone buyers choose Android.

Or that an Android phone beat the iPhone 5 in the recent American Consumer Satisfaction Index.

And why not? I mean, your latest innovation is to add some colour for those who can't afford the better model.

Great idea. People love having their lack of wealth garishly signalled.

Well, at least you'll boost sales of phone covers for anyone who doesn't want to look like they have the children's version.

For years I've watched you, Mr Popular, being all flash, while ironically not being able to handle Flash.

You're like an ageing actress, and you know you can only trade on your looks for so long, so I think your time is up.

Oh, I've been waiting. How long can you hope that your nothing-but-Apple drones will stay programmed to adulate your every release?

Even your precious creative types are abandoning you.

You may have lots of creativity-based apps available, but maybe you should have considered your phones being able to use a stylus that's slightly thinner than a tree trunk.

And didn't you use to be cool? I feel our demographics have switched. You're for the uptight nerds, while I'm for the fun and funky.

But then are you so aloof that you feel you don't have to address your critics?

Or did you put the address into Apple Maps and then got lost?

Even Nokia has pwned you on Twitter.

The best comeback your users have about my phones? They're too big.

It's called an interface, dear. People are fed up of daintily tapping at a micro-screen.
