Its not stale if it works. It works perfectly for me. People are stale if they get bored with perfection.
Seems most people here agree that the iPhone's OS is stale and needs an update. What do you choose?
They should do what Google did with android 4.0 vs 2.3. Android 4 was a huge overhaul of literally the entire OS and introduced a beautiful new interface called holo which in my opinion is much better looking than the horrible skin that ios has at the moment with all the baby blue, pinstriping and glossy blue and bubbles. Its looks really tacky and distracting. The other thing that android 4 has is the skinning is pretty much unified across the entire OS. IOS unfortunately has had some core apps updated with new skinning and others remained on the old skins. IOS really needs an android 4.0 level overhaul and needs better multitasking. At a minimum they need to add a swipe gesture instead of the horrible hard to hit red x's to close apps.

Spoken like a true isheep.

Some are unhappy and want a more open and Android-like experience
I don't know: one choice to gut (not needed IMO), one choice to update and one choice to leave it alone. Are you angry about being given a choice at all?Loaded poll is loaded.
iOS does not need to be gutted and start over to make drastic changes.
the core of it has a lot in common with OS X, and is derived from the same original code-base - yet they are very different UI wise. .
that said, iOS is the way it is by CHOICES apple has made. If you don't agree with those choices, then you should migrate to something else.
It isn't that iOS couldn't be extended to do a heap of stuff, apple has made the choice not to do so. I don't see that changing for a lot of things. OS X has been out for 10+ years now and you can't really customise the UI without hacking it with third party software. This is by design, so that OS X desktops are consistent with each other. Same for iOS...
