iOS is no where near failing or anything like that.
However, I 100% agree that the personalization, widgets, and other built-in customization I can do on any Android phone is a billion light-years ahead of iOS.
I seriously don't get why anyone would want just a row of icons. That's so Win95. |
All of my Apps in one place, it can't get any more effecient. I don't need 5 homescreens, i don't need widgets. I know some people like to add/remove widgets all day, change their wallpapers every 6 hours and so on, I don't care about that at all.
|
I could make my android look exactly like that. Just bunch everything up into folders and toss it all on the home page.
BUT you can't have widgets or customization that I can do. I can do everything you can, but you can do nothing I can.
|
I know what I am getting into if I decided to upgrade to iPhone 5 instead of galaxy 3, I decide that I don't need the things android is offering me. Again, I have an android and iPhone.I was just letting the guy know why I don't care for widgets and whatnot.
My next phone is gonna be either
a Windows phone (I like the interface, may not find all the apps I want, but I keeping my iPhone 4 for that)
or Nexus LG (the one that's being announced soon, I like Nexus 4, vanilla android is the way to go).
or an iPhone 5s (I am used to it+ I don't mind the grid of icons + won't have to rebuy apps).
I like all OS's enough to overlook their shortcomings, battery life and camera will be the deciding factors.

You can argue all you want about which OS is smoother, faster, which has more apps, which gets more support, ect. I really don't care and thats not what this topic is about. It's about how Apple is stuck using the same layout it has been using for too long. It's following the same footsteps that Blackberry did. THey were on top and did nothing to innovate or stay ahead of its competition. THey kept their same phone and just made it more powerful or faster each new phone. Trust me I had 3 blackberrrys. There was nothing new between them ever. Just changing from maybe a ball to a small touch pad where the ball was. Adding some pointless blackberry messenger, ect. There is nothing worth talking about.

You are right, I am sorry if I derailed the thread, but I had to explain to superchunky why row of icons isn't bothering me lol.
And I agree. Apple will have to offer more in the future (Software wise) to stay relevant 
Here's hoping Jonathan Ive will play ballsy.
