I don't get it?

Back to topic...here's iOS 7 new design

So, they've taken this long to make the iPhone do what Android has done from the start? That's progress....

Oh, and parallax.

Wilko, it's different on the iPhone...and it looks better :

Yeah they've taken some of the better Android features but it still has the essence of iOS. It looks very nice I have to say

No operating system or in fact any product at all should ever introduce any feature or style which was ever on any other product before it.

That is a bit difficult in certain markets and especially highly competitive ones. With mobile phones, users want certain features and manufacturers have no choice but to produce their own versions of what others have done. If they didn't, the iPhone's, Samsung's and HTC's etc wouldn't be the phones they are today because they'd all be trying to do something different. Look at car design for instance. Innovation only goes so far and I think Apple have taken some of the most useful features and used them in their product. This silly demand for thinking outside the box innovation worked fine a few years ago, but I think we have reached a point where smart phone owners know what they want from a device and the market research these companies do dictate how they develop their products. Your statement would make my job very very hard indeed if it was a reality.

So Apple would have the mouse?

What (if any) car company would get the wheel? Or engine?

Exactly my point

[henners88]

Ah so we were playing the sarcasm guessing game after all.

Actually Apple did not invent the mouse, they stole it from Håkan Lans.
