"Apple allows others to fail and then comes along and refines it and makes it meaningful. Ios7 is leaps ahead of key lime"
It's still a broken statement, given that it seems to assume either that iOS7 is leaps and bounds ahead of Android 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3, or that KLP is somehow worse than 4.2 or 4.1, etc. Either statement, without a lot of supporting evidence that's not currently available, is patently untrue by conventional observation.
Consider: 4.1 >= iOS7, 4.2 > 4.1, 4.3 is assumed to be >= 4.2, 5.0 is assumed to be >= 4.3.
Qualitative judgments can only be based on the availability of features and options available to the user. Consideration is given to iOS7 for "polish" granting the possibility of equality with 4.1. In other words, what can the Apple device do that a 4.1 device cannot, and vice versa, repeat for each iteration of each OS.
The only way that the result could be iOS7 > 5.0 is if 4.1 is assumed to be lesser than iOS7; that's a very misleading assumption that needs to be clearly stated up front so that everything that follows can be thrown in the context. Since KLP will obviously not be worse than JB, we can only conclude that the person saying it is lesser than iOS7 is assuming that iOS7 is better than JB, at which point the debate must reside on that premise and not on the comparison of rumored additions to the already superior system.
