It's not just the stock apps - there is a culture amongst Apple 3rd party developers to discuss, refine and push design and interaction forwards.
The only time I've seen it amongst Android devs is for that alarm clock app [1], whereas it's a regular talking point about iOS apps (the latest being Paper discussing their colour-picker [2]).

- king_jester 14y agoThere's been a lot more activity lately about app design and quality in the Android community. Google esp. has made a big push to start talking about these things in accessible formats, the most notable format being live streams, G+ hangouts, and youtube archives of said streams and hangouts: http://www.youtube.com/user/androiddevelopers http://www.youtube.com/user/androiddevelopers Things aren't perfect, but things are getting better and we are starting to see a community come together that wants strong, high quality design.
