Interesting. Some say IOS7 is a copy of Android. Others say its a Windows 8 clone.

Extending that, Android must look like Windows 8.

Excellent we're all now using the same phone. Does this mean the sniping can stop.






Please.

Windows 8 is a desktop OS, so I'm not quite sure how it is relevant here. Apple have quite clearly taken some design from Windows Phone and some from Android and put it together in a garish, shiny, white, sparkly UI. Android and Windows Phone are nowhere near alike, that seems quite evident, to me at least.

If anything, iOS users can stop slating Windows Phone now, as their system now looks like a derivative of it.

More chance of World Peace.

Of course Android looks like Windows Phone 8

I like it! I looked at it on the website. All that leather and wood effect was becoming old anyway. Their radio app would probably have been a photo of an old Roberts radio or something if they kept the old style!!

If this was android people would be saying how great it was, and the design would put Apple to shame.

Looks nothing like Windows Phone unless you blind

Windows Phone messaging, iOS 7 messaging. And also this.

I understand that it is called Windows phone 8. Others have shortened this to Windows 8.

But I admit I'm ignorant of these things as I don't rush to the Android/ Windows sites when there is a launch so I can have a pop at the product.

I've said it before, I've been through MANY operating systems and change when there is one that offered a benefit over, or does something I want, that my current phone doesn't.

So far there hasn't been a persuasive argument for me to go to a different system.

That may change in the future, I look at the options at upgrade time.

Though I'm a Luddite, I don't like change for changes sake.

Like I said - nowt like.

If you are trying to make out a picture with a few options to press when a call comes through makes it similar then all phones will be the same.

And show the main screen on iOS7 and compare to Windows Phone 8 as well

It looks nothing like Android IMHO. Android is infinitely customisable for a start. Vanilla iOS still remains very locked down.

Something can't look customisable though.

i've literally just seen it and i quite like it. I do like a nice minimalist design and this is certainly that. looking forward to giving it a spin - be interesting to see if it has any major effect on battery life

But when you can customise everything from the launcher to the even the keyboards, you can end up with something that looks and feels like something far removed from the vanilla OS. I don't think we'll ever see that sort of flexibility on iOS.

I have never, and will never understand the complaining people do about phones they will never use. Unless you are a iPhone user then you have no reason to bitch about it, and even then no one is forcing you to upgrade.

It's quite easy to understand it's called having an opinion and sharing it. We've all got a right to do so. Even got the right to bitch and moan about something.

So no one is forcing you to read these posts if you are tired of the complaining.

Sorry to be blunt but that's how it goes. I have seen the new design and sharing my opinion on it. I think it looks cute actually. Something for the girls and kiddies.

I think people just like to moan

It does start to wear thin a bit on the forum though as when you see a post like this you can guess some of the replies and who some of the posters will be.

So you think it is wise to spend your time complaining about an OS system you clearly don't use. How is that a thing nowadays?

Its the same thing every time Apple do anything, there is a select group that complain about it all the time. It gets very boring, and really pointless. Unless you have a constructive opinion on the OS, apart from ew its ugly, then I don't understand why you would waste your time.

"wise"? Explain this wisdom. What is wrong with having an opinion about tech you do not own? Is it the wasting your time talking about things you dont own? Like you are doing now? Maybe people have interests and hobbies that aren't sports or films or fixing PCs?

Isn't there a usual comment about people complaining about something that doesn't effect them ..

You've hit the nail on the head! Absolutely agree. Especially BIB.
