Convinced me with the calculator. I can't believe Apple didn't revolutionize the number pad! Apple has lost its way.

iOS6 left, iOS7 right

iOS6 left, Android right

It's the square buttons, the black backdrop, the "feel" of it.

I'm wondering how android would look like without iOS.

It would look like Blackberry, because that's what Google was ripping off before Apple made them do a 180 degree turn.

And now some feel that Apple is taking 'the best aspects' of Android because of a thin font and a row of switches

baffling

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I like those icons better. I wish iOS allowed transparency in the icons. Rounded squares look good for some icons, but not for others.

Everyone has their own preference

ehh nah not really, iOS 7 defitnetly looks pretty unique, some ideas taken from Android? sure defitnetly, but you can tell its iOS by its fluidity and ease, and basically same interface but with a facelift

now if Apple only released a bigger iPhone.... that would be incredible

Some things seem like a pretty obvious copy to me, like the lock screen, the calculator app posted above and even they are even using a wallpaper style similar to Google's. A lot of users won't notice it though b/c of the skins put on some phones.

That said, I'm glad for iOS7 fans though because I like Google's style.

If Apple have stolen the better ideas from Android and used them in iOS 7, then I think from a purely selfish of view, its a good thing. I have the iPhone for another year yet and if the experience is being improved, I don't care where the ideas come from. I was never bothered when I was using my HTC or Samsung that certain features had originally appeared on iOS. We are consumers and the petty disputes these manufacturers get into are not our problem. As long as we are getting products we enjoy using it makes no different. Just my thoughts

Ooh wow, the calculator looks the same! I cant even tell if I'm using an iPhone or Android!

I can tell. Just look at the fonts. One is classy, the other one is horrible.


P.S. Am i the only one that hates the font that Android uses? Just look at "1". It looks like a ****ing flag.
