If this article is accurate - and that iOS 7 has so much eyecandy that it will only work on the latest high end hardware - does this mean that a low end budget iPhone is off the table? Or is this Apple's way of segmenting a high end version of the OS and then a version with all the eyecandy disabled for the cheap iPhone?
It's interesting that Apple and Google seem to be going in polar opposite directions right now - with Apple going for high end effects, and KLP reportedly focusing on reducing the minimum requirements and letting it run on lower end hardware.
- mitchty 13y agoIos 7 runs fine on most hardware right now even with beta 2, blur effects aren't exactly that big of a power draw. Don't believe everything you read in articles before its released. Best not to form opinions on things that aren't in general availability. Apple isn't going for "high end effects" at all with ios7, more fluid effects that overall provide a consistent experience. Can't get too into details due to nda but it isn't nearly as crazy as this article makes it out to be. It is impressive what they've changed since Ive took over though, very impressive how much of a change they've made actually. It definitely feels designed all the way through.
