My point has been made by many in this group. Get an Android if you like it, get an iOS device if you like it but I'm tired of people complaining that Apple should have this, that and the other that Android has. I missed the simplicity, ease of use and elegance of iOS when I had the Nexus. I went back to iOS.
My iPhone has what Android has, thats what iOS commonly gives us, so I dont see your point. Yes, I would like them sooner rather than years later.
Given that the reasons I use Apple are not user friendly features, I live with it. But given the reputation that Apple has, and I hope continues to have, I do have an expectation that an iPhone should offer more than a simple, low featured, basic device. Thats what it is though.
iOS offer better quality apps, and a smoother, more fluid operation of the UI, as in no Android lag. It offers some hardware integration that suits me, thats it. I forego modern conveniences and live on the Home Button. I forego software integration as I think you suggested.Thats fiine, my choice, I use a basic smartphone. I would just like a little more thats all

You want things Android has, so get an Android. I had an Android and wanted iOS things so I bought an iPad mini.\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPad miniSwipe down every 5 minutes so I can check what i didnt see?
Or leave them taking up screen all the time? An alert to show me I should check as there are new things such as as we get with updates and new messages, thats makes sense
I want some things Android has, I get some every year in the iOS update. They arent really Android features, they are what are becoming standard features that iOS doesnt have, yet

Swipe down to see notifications or have them remain onscreen until you get rid of them. It's a settings thing. More toggles? Why? iOS has plenty already.I tried using Android. Didn't like it. Went back to iOS. If any iOS user wants what Android has, switch to Android.\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPad miniAlice they already do, many features already exist ion Android. Take Notifications, released as new anmd amazing. Actuall;y old. iOS notifcations are bare bones and actaully useless.They work if you look at the screen for the 2 seconds they appear , after that you have no idea they popped up.. The article talked about toggles, thats an Android feature, old also. They are two minor examples of what I consider useful features. Like any product, manufacturers pick on others ideas , thats life, and thats progress .

Apple better be doing something different instead of adding Android like stuff to their iOS. Otherwise Android could possibly sue Apple.\\ /\ Alice.( ). Sent from my iPad miniIgnore the silly widgets cluttering everything. Its much easier to get around. What it lacks is that it is laggy, has buggy apps, security issues, inability to update
These negatives arent the cause of Apple dragging the useability chain. Although they do add these Android features slowly, noticed that a lot. Eventually, and bare bones. Wait and see, you will see more Android stuff in iOS 7.

I don't know about Android. I fiddled with someone's Android phone a few days ago. No magic there, that I could see. To each her own.--david@luda.netpad4I agree.
Look and feel changes are fine, but make them options, such as Themes.
When I see this going backwards look and feel, and admittance that the focus is on look and feel rather than features, I am a bit gobsmacked. No, I don't want a gazillion features adding pages galore in the Settings, but being intuituve and easy to use as where Android has got to, finally. Apple, you need to tap more, swipe more, and wear out the already poor Home button. While they are slow and behind, please keep adding the old and useful Android features as has been the case very very often in the past.. Please dont only listen to the utterings of anti Apple syers saying the UI is old and boring, then make the UI look old and boring.
I see this as a turning point. When app devs are at the point in "ok, we now have to make all our apps have a WP version" what then?

Change for the sake of change, imposing your own stamp, because you can,
etc.
Dumbing down, dulling up, taking the real-world-look out of it...
I don't think much of the direction this style is taking, if the rumors to
turn out to be true..
But then, I'm certainly not in a demographic that they are aiming at, so
what I think doesn't matter, I'm just an old fogey who actually knows what a
pad of paper *looks* like (so I'm not confused by the representation of one
as a notes-app icon).

Dont follow your point
Are you referring to the dumbing down of the icons?

On the whole -- IMO, yuck.
Sounds like a lot of "now I'm in charge, so I'll make changes because I can,
not to make things better but so it'll be *my* system, and *my* system has
to be *different* from the old one no matter what."
