You used your last dying breath to rip off android features such as cloud and facebook integration. (which Android has had for ages) Not to mention your pull down notification center, which again, had been around on Android from the start. I had it on the HTC Hero going back a few years.
Android is your daddy, and was showing just what a smartphone OS should be like. Your last product Iphone 4S underwhelmed many in the tech world. So did you achieve your mission in destroying Android? You didn't even put a scratch in it mate.”
Just because Android is apparently more advanced the ios, that does not rule out fowl play and copying in the early stages of developement. There is nothing to say that Apple didn't come up with something exactly the same as android in their developement stages but decided to can it for the more user friendly and universal appear of IOS.
Apple have always strived to have the "best" user experience/products. Not sell the most or have the fastest performance. If that means stripping out features to make it run better and accesible across products, then why wouldn't you take that business path.
I don't agree with the attidude of Steve Jobs to destroy Android as that would be no good for the consumer and freedom of choice. Without competitors producing more advanced products, you have no reason to innovate yourself if you remove all competition. There is clearly room for all phone makers and operating systems.
