I use to care so much about what Apple would bring to the table at WWDC, but this year I couldn't careless, only enough to make this thread. Seems all the focus is on the hottest Androids and they keep bursting with features.
Your individual expectations, experiences, and anecdotal ideas about what the public and iPhone users want and or are tired of are fairly meaningless. There are lots of people who are looking forward to WWDC and iOS 7 with great anticipation. The iPhone still retains 41% of the smartphone market, which is pretty huge when you think about it since the market has only been expanding and Android caters hugely to emerging and inexpensive markets, while Apple almost exclusively does not.
iOS 7 looks to be the same old boring UI, which so many people have left for Android or Windows phone.
First off, you literally know nothing about iOS7 and its UI except what the rest of us have been told, and that is that it's going to be a pretty heavy redesign with a focus on a "flat" UI. How that translates into "same old boring UI" I can't even fathom.
Your comment about so many people leaving for Android and Windows phone is interesting; Apple increased it's share of the smartphone marketplace over last year. Android increased the most, but so to is the market expanding and as I mentioned before, Android caters to markets that Apple has so far not bothered with.
I know A LOT of people are waiting to see what iOS 7 is like, and that is going to be the determining factor whether or not they return. I don't see iOS 7 being the lifesaver that Apple is counting on.
Since you already know everything about iOS 7 why not just tell them what they're in for so they can make their decision now? I don't think that Apple is looking for a "lifesaver" right now; they may be looking for some new innovations to keep their base happy and might even start trying to steal some of Android's emerging and inexpensive phone marketshare, but Apple is hardly doing poorly right now. The essence of your argument is flawed.
