In just a matter of weeks, Apple (whether you like or dislike the company) will release their new operating system for their iDevices.
Oddly enough, many of the features to this completely overhauled design have been taken directly from their competition, and now integrated into the phone.
As of just a half a year ago, scores of Apple fanboys could be heard saying "we don't need _______ feature that Android/Windows/Blackberry has; it's a garbage feature".
Now that these features have come to iOS 7, this same audience can be heard saying how amazing those features are, and how the iPhone is the best because of those features.
What are your thoughts? Looking forward to the overhauled design, or think of it as a cheap rip off of other popular OS'?

They all steal from each other. Samsung ripped off Apple. Apple ripped off Xerox. Microsoft ripped off Apple. It eventually leads to a nice standardized system so I'm ok with it. As for "fanboys" isn't that behavior the same for any group, lol?

iOS 7 compatible devices

There are similarities between the companies, but not direct "stealing" on all ends.
Steve Jobs himself said in interviews that good companies imitate, and great companies steal (regarding ideas, and implementation there of).
Yes, fans of groups tend to be radical, but for whatever reason, Apples hardcore fanboys as they have been dubbed, are a bit more extreme, at times senselessly disputing facts and claims that they're wrong in.

So, I guess many of the Chinese companies that blatantly ripoff (steal) IP are great companies?

Wouldn't say that in the broad spectrum of things, but based on the points within the (Steve Jobs) quote, ehhh...
As a side note, they're not as big as some of the tech giants today, so perhaps they came up short of blatant rip off
:D
;D

That's been Apple's m.o. keep selling you the exact same product over-and-over again. with minor tweaks they built up a cult following who can't wait to get rid of their perfectly working product to get the ' latest & greatest ' version. Guy at work just got an Iphone 5 last month and is salivating for the 5S or whatever it will be called on 9/10 just because it has IOS7. MORONS !!!
Reminds me of a friend who went to Martha's Vineyard today and lamented about how the only thing to do on the island is to ride bikes and go to these cheesy little shops , I said people go there to tell other people they went there it's a status thing , same with the I-products people get them to tell others they have them

It all died with Steve... Well, a lot did..

Exactly. Fanboys are never satisfied, although they claim their device is superior to the competition on all fronts.
Did you tell him that iOS 7 is going to work on his current phone as an update?
;D

Especially if Apple releases a "low end" iPhone.
-
when it comes to the OS functionality, iOS is basically what Android was doing a year or so ago.
and now that the play store has caught up with the app quality, the only real reason to get an iPhone these days is that you already have everything through iTunes and whatnot. a new user with no affiliation with either platform would be far better served with an android device.

AWESOME !

I still hate Apple but I have to say it looks a lot better. I won't throw low blows and say they're copying Android either. Smart phones need multi tasking, it needs organization, quick access to frequently used functions, more control!!! They're headed in a good direction but is it too late? They've dominated the cult market but the rest are going for other manufacturers like Samsung. They're losing market share and they can only hope it's not too late.

Does this fix apps going dark on the iphone5? F I hadn't got it practically free from work I'd never have gone apple but hopefully this fixes their sloppy shit
-

-
Fuck apple.
I'm with you on this, and let me add to the list.
Fuck Colorado
Fuck Lebron and Kobe.
Fuck EA Sports
I'd like to Fuck Persia White.

Why do Iphones need a compass?
Has anyone ever used that nonsense?
I could only imagine that if you ever find yourself in a region where you require the use of a compass, that you might not even have reception.

Good point. The compass still should "work" with no signal - as far as how accurately, that's a whole different issue.
As a side note, do thread "subjects" change? Recalled naming this thread something different... Just iOS 7...

Living on the land man grandpa died at exactly 100. Born July 4th died on Halloween strange but true. They never seen a computer.

Yesterday I couldn't have even imagined such a device but now all of a sudden I NEED it.

I was an iphone user from the iphone 3g days but now I switched over to the galaxy note 2 because of the bigger screen, instead of walking around with an iphone and an ipad i now have one device that can function as both, but if apple comes out with a big screen iphone i would switch back in an heartbeat.
