This is why Forstall is out! Expect new things.
Fine a lot of those features I don't care about. But at least they innovate, make something new!
Sounds like a terrible use of share holder capital and company resources. LOL.
You don't "innovate" for the sake of innovation. You innovate for a tangible product that people will use.

2. The fact that neither Google or Microsoft make their own phones that guarantee compatibility with future updates the instant that they're released.
Nexus phones is as close to "making their own" as it gets - I have a Nexus S that still get all the new versions, it's a selective argument (and a little wrong).
Were you able to update the day the software was released? If not, how long did you have to wait?
Yes, I've had every upgrade (it was born with 2.3) available on release day. Since the notifications was enhanced it just pops up there when they are available.
No I haven't no, it's difficult?
Really cool stuff! I liked the photosphere feature and lock screen widgets. I think we'll see innovation now that Ive is in charge. Forestall did all he could with iOS so it's time for some new blood.
Btw it was a little funny to see them talk about glass front and back and a chamfered edge. Sounded familiar.![]()
I am part of Apple's ecosystem. MacBook, iPhone, iPad, apple tv
Don't want to leave because of how seamless it is.
BUT check this!!!

I mean come on! That video makes the apple software team look lazy! What have they been doing with their time???
Fine a lot of those features I don't care about. But at least they innovate, make something new! From things like making the camera settings more efficient, to the widgets on the main screen with the shazam-like functionality....cmon they beat apple hands down if we can be honest! How has apple constantly made their system better?
I'm finding it harder and harder to believe that Apple's in this for the win!
Adding a two finger swipe is not innovating.
But it is definitely a (seemingly) simple feature that would make the iOS usability that much more fluid.
For example, why can we swipe down for notifications, but not swipe up for the task bar? I would absolutely LOVE that. Double pressing the home button is just unnecessary when Apple themselves have proved that one finger swipes for a system wide feature are possible while at the same time being immensely useful and not intruding.
2 finger swiping would defeat the purpose of one handed use
Truthfully There's only two things keeping me from switching to Android or Windows Phone 8:
1. Apple's app ecosystem (IMO, iOS gets the best apps). The entire point of smart-phones are the apps. No great apps, no real need.
2. The fact that neither Google or Microsoft make their own phones that guarantee compatibility with future updates the instant that they're released.
The fact is, I'm getting tired of Apple not iOS. I don't care about widgets, and I don't find the UI boring but it seems Apple's priorities are in feeding us BS. Hopefully the next iPhone is not a half-baked "S" device and iOS 7 is a lot more than features that should have been included in prior versions of iOS.
Wait, it has a glass back AND no LTE?
But but but.... I though a year ago those things practically made a phone untouchable!!!
