IOS 7 does look good but feature wise there isn't enough, its more of a facelift rather than anything major.
It takes a lot of inspiration from Android, not so sure about Windows but that is great. One thing use iOS wish we had was more functionality like Android. Now we can have it without having to jump ship. I have a lot invested in iOS, but I was considering jumping, but I think I am all set for while. I will still get an Android tablet later on this year..

I hate the aesthetics, it's too "bubbly". It has the same flat design of Holo which I heavily favorite but the icons don't look anywhere near as chic, they instead look cartoonish. Not to mention that Safari icon bothers the living hell out of me, looks like they didn't finish designing it. I feel like TouchWiz is upset a challenger out cartooned it.
I dunno, I just think iOS 6 looked more mature. This is a downgrade imo as far as looks. Didn't really see the features so I can't comment on that.
Is it just me or does the new ios 7 look very similar to an android or windows.. I love android but I'm really surprised apple has chosen to look more like an android and windows phone operating g system

The thing with iOS6's looks though is that it hasn't really changed from the original iPhone OS. Would the implication there be that iOS "looked" mature from the start?
I do believe it looks better, but it seems like that's really all that changed. They did incorporate some features from Android like being able to access multiple sources of information from the lock screen. And their version of Android beam. It looks very much like Androids in some areas. I would even argue that it doesn't look as good as Android which seems weird to state.

Multitasking cards swiping up to delete is a major improvement. The quick access controls, the notifications menu, stock app use, I thought they did a lot, though heavily inspired by others... What else would you have liked to see, I personally don't like some of the icons.. But I am liking forward to updating my phone...

Well, that's just it. Android has always come out with something that I would have never even thought of. IOS 7 seems to mostly be what we have already experienced on other platforms. I'm not knocking iOS. I'm still a big fan, but I was expecting something that no one has introduced yet. Like Siri.

I disagree with you, iOS7 is the real deal, lots of new things that we have been waiting on, I can't wait to install it on my iPhone!
I like the new look, and FINALLY people will be able to access important toggles quickly. There still isn't enough customization options and we're still stuck with a small screen.
I will say this though, I REALLY like the new look of iOS 7. I think they did a great job of making it look a little more like Android. They still have a ways to go, but kudos to them for taking a few strides in the right direction. It just sucks for them that they've now gotten a little closer to Android 4.2, when 4.3 is right around the corner. It seems like Android just seems to be 2 or 3 steps in front every single year for the last 3 years.
