Seeing iOS 7 made me switch over to Android but some regrets

I believe your switch was somewhat pre-mature. Should have held out until the iOS 7 public release. Plus, I've been reading a lot of posts on here about people saying they hated iOS 7 when they saw the pictures, but once they used it on their phone they fell in love.

However, I have been through a similar issue. I got bored of the iPhone and iOS after using it for so long, so I decided to buy an Android phone. I lasted 2 weeks before switching back to the iPhone.

Personally I'll never be using iOS 6 again. iOS 7 is already 100 times better.

I totally agree. I could care less about icons. The functionality in 7 trumps 6 wholeheartedly. I wouldn't go back now unless I absolutely had to. Heck, I use the control center so many times a day, I can't even keep count. Swiping back and forth for web pages. So many cool new things and more will be fixed and added as they go.

I have considered switching (again), but just can't do it.

I tried Android (Nexus) several months ago and made it just a few days before I switched back. The big screen is nice, but it just isn't an iPhone.

I am also tied pretty tightly to iCloud, Calendar, iTunes and so on. I know there is similar stuff on Google, but I prefer Mac stuff.

A bigger screen iPhone would be awesome! I think we won't see one this year, unfortunately.

I am sticking with iOS for now... (My opinion)

I completely agree. I have been an iOS user since 2008 but decided to make the jump to the HTC One in June. However after 3 days I was already complaining about how it wasn't an iPhone. Now I am back to an iPhone 5 and excited for iOS 7 in the Fall.

I couldn't agree more with what I just read, sir.

See it's just the overall visual look that gets me..yeah the bugs will go with final release but for me I felt well if Apple is now like Android might aswell jump ship but just makes me feel why did Apple have to add all these features because half them are not any use. Too many settings, different browsers, anti virus I don't get it?

I liked the overall colours of the IOS6 keyboard to the thick design of Iphone 5 to the heavy blocky icons and games.

For me IOS7 has much better functions but it's all down to how the software looks. May improve with IOS8, 9 but can't see that far ahead. :(

just install the iOS 7 theme for Android (Yes it exists...) Curious if your brain will explode. :p

I don't like IOS7 so switched over to Android and not enjoying that much better.

Windows/Blackberry are not offering much really.

I really wish I had just stayed with IOS6 however app updates ect..would have made it unusable down the line.

I am struggling to consider a 5S with IOS7 and Android well for me is all the same whatever handset you go for. As a tech lover I feel I'm out of options.

Anyway I jumped to Android only to realise it's similar to what's coming in IOS7. Can't win then? :(

Oh dear! What are you going to do - complain to Apple? :)
