I'm holding out for their new 7" ipad that is coming out later this year with the retina screen.

I'm definitely interested. One of the reason I just got an S4 was because of Apple's stale OS they've had since the beginning. I hope I don't have any regrets.
So when are you getting your s4?

Why wait though? All these features you've been anxiously awaiting have been used by millions of people all around you. If I wanted a feature that I could only get through rooting, i'd root so that I could get it. If I REALLY wanted a feature that Android didn't have, i'd leave Android for someone who did have it. What do we get in return for giving these companies all our money when they aren't giving us what we need/want? You have the power to go get what you want and need with your own hard earned money.
I understand if someone just likes 5 or 6 specific things about Apple that no one else offers (I imagine you are this way). And when that's the case, it makes more sense why you'd anxiously wait for new (old) features. But I am too big of a fan of innovation and features. If someone is always a year behind, there's not a chance I would continue tossing my money at them. That's why I love Android. These "revolutionary features" are old news by the time my iPhone friends even hear about them.
I'm not talking about the keynote, I'm talking about the consumer-facing information. The stuff that normal people will actually see. (Normal people don't watch keynotes)

I hated having to WAIT for an update sometimes for up to a year!!!! .
Lol why are you trolling an android forum? Regardless of what he said to you , you don't have to retaliate by repeating the immaturity. For one ( you said this because you are raging), Google obviously cares about the use experience, or they wouldn't have refined jellybean to the point where it is. Second, you act like manufacturers using android on lower quality/priced devices is a bad thing. If not for using this idea, android would not have nearly as much market share. By the way, apple dues the same thing yearly by keeping their older phones to sell to people on a budget, effectively doing the same thing. Apple is good , I used to own an iPhone and seek use an iPad some, but you can't ignore the pros of both.

they make money by people using their OS, not by people buying the phone!
So, you are asking me why I don't use Android instead? Well, I used it for 3 years before I ever used or owned an iPhone but I did not like it! I hated the fragmentation, I hated having to WAIT for an update sometimes for up to a year!!!! Customization is very overrated, in fact, it is the most overrated feature in mobile computing. When I used Android I was always working on making the device better, everyday! Rooting, installing new ROMs, it consumed my life! The device became a burden instead of being what it is, a utility we use to better our lives, the iPhone works out of the box, no if's or but's.
The integration was also one of the biggest reasons I switched. Being able to integrate your phone, tablet, computer, laptop and TV without 3rd party applications was high! I can see my content from anywhere on any of my devices, my notifications, apps, data, etc.
Another reason is because I really dislike what Google is about VS Apple. Apple makes products like most vendors we use, they make quality products and sells it to people, making their money by selling quality products. That is why Apple cares about the user experience. Google on the other hand does not give crap about your user experience, you can be using a flagship phone or a ****ty crappy phone, they STILL MAKE THEIR MONEY BY SELLING OR USING YOUR DATA! They don't care if their OS is being used on a crappy hardware where the user experience is horrible!
To each their own, but there is a reason Apple fans like Apple, and believe me, some of us really know what we are doing.
Since innovation keeps getting brought, Apple did innovative with the iPhone 5. (What really??? Yes really!!!). The innovation was not something sexy or stands out directly. It was the custom A5 processor that Apple designed for the iPhone. They made their own instruction set and cpu architecture (off the license from ARM) to be optimized around their operating system. I am sure that their next generation is going to do the same and have great battery life off multitasking because of this.
This isn't what the public sees. The public sees IOS7 with toggles and multitasking. If Apple comes out with a larger screen, they will see that.
It is why sometimes I hate benchmark testing so much because people are trying to compare Apples to Oranges.
LOL. Google doesn't care about user experience? That is way over the top. I wonder what the user expereince would be like in mobile or web without google? I promise you it would be worse all around.
Ok, maybe a bit harsh but how do you explain Google being ok with any company slapping Android on sub-par hardware and calling it a phone? I am telling you, I met people with android phones that basically would make me want to kill myself, that bad!

Google assumes people will do their research and think for themselves. Apple does the thinking for their customers. If those people you spoke of actually did their due dilligence, it wouldn't be a problem.
