Yup it seems like Apple are finally catching up and introducing stuff like the control centre which Andoid have had for ages

There has been nothing more annoying than having to press a few buttons just to switch my bluetooth on and off.........

 :grin: :grin:

At least it wasn't me this time  :tongue: It's like they've plucked stole the features from Android, making it a swipe up rather than down so no body would notice its the same thing then stole the flatness & design cues of WP7/8.

About time they did update the UX, but I'm not sure all the updates are a good thing ...

I'm not too keen on it at all to be honest. I'll stick with my HTC One.

I actually quite like it.  the new UI looks good, and a couple of the features I like.  It does seem like too little too late though.  Also, I don't think Jobs would approve.

I'm finding the whole ios and osx upgrades to be a bit incremental. Sure you have to stay true what the end user is used to or else it will be controversial (see windows 8 metro I interface) but it seems that
Ios 7 has simply removed the glassy effect and gone for a more consistent flat look. The glassy effect was so 90's even back in 2007

iOS is just boring and stale anyway.  They need to scrap it for something completely different and better.  The Windows OS absolutely kicks it's ass in every way, with the active tile system which actually works on a touch screen.

Neah iPhone.  I prefer the iPhone, as a physical phone, but I like the Windows OS more.  What tips me toward iPhone though is the much better range of apps.

It's quality, not quantity you want, they've also got most of the "big names" now.
