Man, isn't it weird that a company might be out-innovating another company? Man, isn't it weird that another OS might do things in a different way? Man, isn't it weird that a cnn contributor might have said things that will split a room and have various spheres of the tech world proclaiming "No YOUR phone is a dick"? Here's the rub, iOS has gone down a very straightened route. It's a managed, curated, locked down experience. The static icons are because Apple wants the OS out of the way as much as possible because you're not there to stare at that, you're there to fondle whatever app you want. Android has thrown much niceness in for customising, and having windowing, non-static tiles, information widgets and what not because they know that's what some consumers want. Lets all take a breath. It's all okay. Android is a great OS! So is iOS! They do different things which work better for different people. Look at it this way, having two companies making excellent operating systems, and two companies making excellent hardware can only help to get other companies to similarly up their game. For what it's worth I wouldn't say Samsung is necessarily out-innovating Apple, but they are putting things together in a very, very nice way. I see as many Samsung Android devices on my commute as I do iPhones and that's not a bad thing, but I can't think of anything that Samsung has done recently that's stood right out as a massive innovation, but I don't pay as much attention as I should.
