very true
Maybe we expect too much from a cellphone. Ideally, a 10 inch cellphone. That then raises another problem!

That why I quite like a few of the Android ways to navigate around, and the OS based back button

My very brief experience with Android didn't leave me feeling it was bad, just that it was nothing special. Of course, anything feels clunky on a cell phone. I've got an iPhone 5 - and am paying outrageously for the service for several probably poor reasons, including just trying to figure out why they're so popular - and moving around the screen is a trial. It feels like a miniaturized iPad.
Android is bad, Apple is good
After all this is an Apple forum. but its not always the case.. It was in 2007, 2008, 2009. Today the opposition improve their offerings, our choice hardly does. And when they do its what the opposition already have.
I really find it bizarre. What alowos this to happen is a loyal brand, a qualitty product, therefore a precived best in class product. It was but its really a 2009 product whereas everyonme ellse has a 2013 product, If this trend continues to a bland, feature unchanged iOS7 and a iPhione 5S that is just a 5, that will stick out like a sore thumb. The Applle brand and perception can only last so many disappointments.

You said it David. Intuitive isn't a word I associate with Android. I use to run Windows. I got tired of "drilling down" through menu after menu to find things. I don't want to go back. Apple has shown that less is more.Question: How many people with Android phones really know how to use them vs. people with iPhones?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."
