You know I moved from Android to Apple and although I love my iPhone there are many things I miss about Android. Kinda like when I went from owning pickup trucks for years and bought a car recently. And I'll stick with Apple now because I like their products and love how my three devices are sort of one and the same.
That said, Apple is always 2-3 years behind Android. I wouldn't even have bothered upgrading to a 5 except it was FINALLY 4G LTE, eighteen months late!
90% of the changes in IOS7 is just Apple paying catchup. They're getting killed by Samsung right now and they know it. Anyone see recent articles in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today? Hopefully they'll get away from this "one phone fits all" mentality and start making a variety of iPhones for a variety of people. Millions of people buy Samsung and others because they want a bigger phone! Make a bigger phone, Apple, dammit!!
