What Ideas From Android Should Apple Look At For iOS 7?

[Greg.]

I don't know how Apple users put up with without having settings toggles. Having to spend minutes delving into the settings app to change simple things like bluetooth on/off is such a hassle compared to just swiping down on Android.

Apple should allow custom keyboard apps too. I can't see why keyboard apps are banned but camera apps aren't. Swype is awesome.

Because you don't have to toggle them. Apple want you to leave on wifi, Bluetooth and 3G. I do, to no detrimental effect on the battery.

Apple needs to be original and innovate ... thats their niche.

This. They shouldn't copy other outdated features like widgets, they should do something fresh and better.

I think widgets seems to be the big one. Maybe Apple should make an app icon on the home screen that opens a page only for widgets to be added to. So there would be an icon labeled "widgets" and when opened, the user can add and remove widgets.

This allows Apple to avoid cluttering the home screens with widgets which seems to be what they are trying to stay away from.

Are you that far out of touch? Android Jelly Bean is now light years ahead of IOS 6 and it is making me angry that I've invested so much money on the Apple eco-system! Apple should turn IOS development over to the jailbreak DEV TEAMS! - At least get me a keyboard where I can accurately move the cursor to a point on the screen where I need it, instead of stabbing away for five minutes like an idiot trying to land at the end of a word to insert an "S" for crying out loud!

you do realize instead of 'stabbing away for five minutes' you can just tap and HOLD to drag to where you want to edit right?
