Surge in Apple's iOS 7 Usage Revealed in Web Traffic Stats

Kudos MacRumors for being one of the most visited iOS7 sites.

Just curious what facts your kudos are based on... MacRumors has said their rate of hits is up, but I do not see anywhere where number of hits between any sites are objectively compared. In fact, I do not see anywhere where the actual total number of hits is shown. For all we know, the scale could top out at 5 hits...
 
eagerly awaiting iOS7...

Can't wait to see what Apple highlight's for iOS 7 at the WWDC next month, especially Jony Ive's "flat UI design"! :D

One feature i would like to see: A means to go "back" on the iphone.

Often times you're in an app, and you tap on something, and you're jettisoned over to safari. To get back to the app, you must press the home button, find the app again, tap it, and hope that it's the same as it was when you left off.

I propose a two finger horizontal swipe to go back (or forward) between apps and safari. pretty good right?

I guess you're not familiar with Zephyr ;)
 
i cant WAIT for OS 10.9! if they give a significant design overhaul i will die from happiness then be resurrected to buy the OS then die again!

You could simply double-press the home button and select the very first app that appears there (which will the the last app you used). It's not gesture based, but at least it's still better than going around and looking for the app you used last and all that.
 
Isn't anyone going to comment on how you can have a graph with only one axis labeled!!! Duh? do journalists take no math classes at all.

All I see is blue dots.

And then the article talks about 17% of this and 24 percent of that but no hint of the pool size. Is it 25% of 4 hits or 40,000? Enquiring minds want to know.

Only if you expect people to read the owner's manual in order to know how to do it.

All of these weird unintuitive special little Apple tricks are one reason why most people choose Windows and Android. They are a lot easier to use.

Loving my Galaxy S4. Not worried about iOS 7. It's biggest feature will probably be toggles.

All that is going to happen is that the ugly stuff that is in iOS 6 will be replaced by boring stuff in iOS 7. That's about the best that can be hoped for.

Seriously? ios is far simpler and easier to use than android.

Not being able to go "back" in ios is a major drawback. Adding one trick to accomplish that is well worth it. Do you use the notification pull down menu, or would you prefer that be deleted from ios?

On an iPad you can swipe left and right with four fingers to switch between apps. Something similar is sorely missing on iOS.

This is not the reason MOST people use Windows and Android, the reason is more likely both Windows and Android have every base covered, bottom end, middle and high end, alot of people aren't willing to pay for Apple products as they tend to be high.

Also they both have dozens of OEMs to pre-load their software on making them more widely available, so as usual your point is bollox.

The best that could be hoped for is for you to stop talking and writing and find some other hobby ;);)

Samsung is throwing so much **** at the wall in their phone with the hopes that something will stick except many features are half baked and rushed. Apple will probably include some of these features. They have been working on them as well but, instead of rushing to the market, they have been testing them and will come out fully functional. Unfortunately, since Samsung has thrown everything including the kitchen sink into their phones, people will declare Apple is copying the competition.

So why don't you go and drool all over those amazing phones in their forums instead of ******** around here like a dumb**** troll? Your wannabe preemptive signature underlines your idiocy.
