Guest FourAces Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Apple previewed their all new ui at WWDC yesterday. iOS7 has been built from the ground up. The press, blogs and average run of the mill people are calling it amazing, brilliant ahead of its time ..... HUH? I watched the preview and for the most part all I saw was what Android has been doing now for mmm about FIVE FUCKING YEARS! New icons - WOW hardly groundbreaking. Animated weather - My favorite. When being demo'd the crowd cheer wildly, really? None of them has ever seen a Android phone? Multitasking - Come on this is a joke right? Android has had true multitasking from day one ... thats 2008 bitches. Notifications can be pulled down from a locked screen - lol You mean this could not be done before? ... and so on... Now I am not a Apple hater I have owned, and probably will own again, Apple products. I really liked them ... they are extremely fluid and yes easy to use. It just really bugs me that a UI not even released and not even groundbreaking automatically seems to become leap years ahead and untouchable when all it is is a rehash of what has been out there for years.

Guest EXPAT Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Android apps are really inferior though. I'm amazed at how buggy they are compared to the Apple apps. I think it's clear that they don't have the stringent coding requirements that Apple does. Quote
AdamSmith Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I think it's clear that they don't have the stringent coding requirements that Apple does. Of course Cook broadly hinted that general aspect of things may be changing as well. http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/5/28/4374700/apple-ceo-hints-that-ios-will-open-up-to-more-third-party-customization http://live.theverge.com/tim-cook-d11-liveblog/ Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 It sure looks pretty. Not sure why we have to wait until fall for this.. Quote

Members JKane Posted June 11, 2013 Members Posted June 11, 2013 The new Mac Pro info is very interesting. Fascinating design, though something of a fuck you to many current users who currently use expansion cards to do different things. Everything'll now have to be external with a Thunderbolt connection, can't even put in a couple large hard drives... A bit of a cross between the wildly unsuccessful iMac Cube and a suppository...

Guest lurkerspeaks Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 i updated my IPhone 4s to the ios7.2, and now some of my apps are missing.. I re-synced my phone with my pc and nothing came back. Any suggestions from those more tech-savvy individuals? Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 do you keep your apps updated? Or do you let them just sit there unupdated? Some apps won't work under ios7 and some require iOS 7. Also if can get them all because all purchased apps are in your iCloud and can be resynced back on your iphone. Quote
