TL;DR -- iOS 7 will leverage newer iPhone's Retina display and faster GPU for displaying a slick new UI that Android won't be able to copy.
I like the progress iOS and Android have made over the last few years. I've tried both and enjoyed features that each had to offer. I have also enjoyed reading posts from Marco's blog in the past.
However, I am frankly tired of all this flurry of blog posts going gaga over iOS 7 and failing to make a point.
- rimantas 13y agoLet me help you to find a point: iOS 7 was made this way to differentiate itself and make it harder to copy either on Android on via the web stack.
- untog 13y agoIs that really believable, though? Android devices have capable GPUs, and I don't think the web has ever been a real threat to "legitimate" iOS apps (if Apple cared to destroy webapps they could in a second). The more laughable notion is that Android would want to copy iOS 7. Samsung's shenangians aside, Android now has a cohesive UI in Holo that most new apps are using. There's no incentive to mimic iOS.
