iOS 7 vs Android

[Rule9]

This is were I am starting to think you guys are wrong. The more I look into this and talk to other devs around me, a common theme is occuring.

They aren't trying to catch up to Android, they are trying to catch up the JailBreak community. Apple is never going to be open with IOS, like Google is with Android. Jailbreaking brings a lot of instability to IOS. These are the features a lot of Jailbreakers go after. Axxo, More Gesture controls of the operating system etc. Yes some Jailbreakers go after theming and customization.

If Apple wanted to be IOS to be like Android, they would have gone after that also.

Now were they may go after the Android OEMs is releasing a larger iPhone to appease those like myself, who made the switch because of their tiny screen size.

In keeping with the title and topic of the thread we're not wrong. The OP is looking for Android vs iOS not iOS vs Jailbroken iOS. As android users in an Android forum, naturally we're going to feel that this update doesn't bring it on par with Android 4.2. We're not really discussing how Apple feels about it here. But as I said in my last post, I can understand existing iPhone owners being much more excited about this update

I like that 3d effect on the ui, I need to hold it in my hand to see if it's really as breathtaking as it is in the video demo

Spot on with what I've underlined. Seems like the Android camp won't see Apple "competing" unless they open up like Google has with Android. Not. Going. To. Happen.

Scot forestall was a control freak. they fired him last year and had 6-8 months to over haul iOS. they will define and keep on adding new features from now on. The new Apple without Jobs and Scott forestall excites me.

Honestly, if they can make iOS look and feel like android, id go back to iphone simply for the better battery life. I have yet to find a way to make my nexus 4 last as long as my iphone 5 did.

 

[Rule9]

Depends on your perspective. From my point of view they've had a couple of years to do it regardless of who's to blame

I agree. Isn't it beautiful how each android owner has so many options to do with as they please?

At the expense of massive issues. Like how my bloody Nexus 4 froze up and I couldn't turn it off. Yeah,no thanks I don't want the type of control that allows the device to get that messed up

Yes I agree it sucks that Google did not design the nexus with a replaceable/upgradable battery.

...so you can't change or upgrade it. Yeah, thats awesome.

What advantage does OS-level integration provide exactly?

I thought it was breathtaking too when I saw it on my Droid 1 years ago.

I don't even care about a replaceable battery, I just want a bigger one. I don't want to feel like I need to baby or limit what it does to get through the day.

Trust me, this isn't the "norm". EVERY device has had its occasional issue. Yes, even Apple....remember antennagate? Don't judge a whole line of Android phones with one bad experience. When manufacturers release millions of mass produced phones, your bound to have a few faulty ones slip through the Quality Control cracks.

A replaceable battery would allow you to do that.

Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy S3 4300mAh Extended Battery and Cover - Pebble Blue and Extended TPU Case - Black and External Battery Charger w/ USB Output (Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S III GT-i9300, AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 Samsung i747, Verizon Samsu

I have had them before, and they are awesome. Going days between charges without having to turn stuff off is such a luxury.

Yes, iPhones never have freezing issues. That is clearly only an Android problem.

How in the world did this get derailed?

Sorry if this isn't related but since we are on the topic of iOS 7

Can anyone recommend an good icon pack that would make the icons on my phone flatter?
i already have MIUI and Stark but i would like something where all the icons aren't squared off.
