Samsung's 'iTest' Lets You Try a Galaxy Device on Your iPhone

The Android flat design is so similar to Apple's, and that's precisely because Apple copied flat design from Google and Microsoft. Apple should set itself apart from the culture-less flat design and go back to the the beautiful skeuomorphic design of iOS 6.

If you are referring to Google Material Design / Microsoft Metro then you are barking up the wrong design analogy.

There was no copying really. All three are very different. If anything Google have copied iOS with their weird Squircle app icons which look 'orrible as a folder.

Animations / Parrallax / movement and flow are all completely different. I really like some of Microsofts stuff ( but windows 10 is a awful mishmash of Metro and classic ( read 30 year old windows NT ) - If they had the balls they'd completely bin the old stuff.

As for skumorphic. It has its place in some apps but not in general UI these days - look at the mess iOS 5 became. and I never did get the quirky idea of having a 1930s TV for the youTube icon!

It’s fun and makes you appreciate the beauty of iOS even more. 😊

i have so much appreciation for ios as it is, not sure if i need it — besides the photos in this article do a great job) but hey, if i have a few minutes to kill — i just might :))
 
what are they trying to do? are they trying to say that it's best to have android runs on the iPhone system? is that means they are saying that iPhone is better than android then? dah, I already know that this why I got iPhones from the first place and why would I want to put something that is less than iPhone on my system. don't see the point here. I don't need to put on a test to know so and beside it could be android scam to put something on my iPhone when I put the iTest on my device.
 
Hmmmmmmmm

How long before Apple sends their lawyers to Samsung for cease and desist for this? Because it’s probably going to happen
 
I still cant figure out why they're still using the app/home/back button persistent interface along the bottom. So redundant and obsolete at this point. I really don't like it at all.
 
And people three post ago said, “you can’t do a good web app” pffftt.
 
I have a serious question. My mother just got a new Samsung Galaxy last week. Could I send her this link and would it work there? Obviously she doesn't need to be sold on a Samsung. But if it could work as a quick and easy tutorial on how to use her new phone, that might help her a ton and prevents tons of "I don't know mom, my iPhone doesn't work that way" replies. It's a web link, should work fine, right?
 
Very cool.

I could totally rock an Android phone. My whole digital life is run through Google anyway... GMail, Google Calendar, etc.

And all of the major apps I use are available on Android.

But I simply don't want to.

:p
 
Now this is some kinda next level desperate. But to be honest, with how powerful the A series SoC is, I'm surprised someone just doesn't turn Android into an app that can access the Google Playstore on iOS. Although, this would probably be blocked by the store and its kind of a bad memory (remember IBM with OS/2 can also run Windows better than Windows?)
