This really seems more like iOS 5.3 (or 5.5 to be generous) rather than an entire 6.0 upgrade.Disappointing to be honest. Windows phone, Android and even BB10 within the past year have all gone through MAJOR UI changes, yet for iOS there have been no major UI changes recently, arguably ever.
This year seemed like the chance to shut all haters and doubters up, but apple have just added a few extra features to some of its apps,generally done bug fixes and added apps that already existed, but made them included with release rather than having to download them later. (this is referred to as bloat ware on other Os's)
Features from iOS are taken from Android, RIM and Windows phone, but all mentioned above are EQUALLY guilty.
The reason I believe people complain about apple is because of the companies mentioned above, it is the one that is litigating more than it is innovating in the past year or so.
Apple's marketing is amazing and the next iphone will still sell in boatloads. Interest in apple products may not be dwindling, but the reaction to the Lumia, the sales of the SGS3 and the high expectations of Windows 8, and arguably BBX, really does show that the the common consumer is noticing its competitors much much more.
Who cares which OS is the best, It has shifted in the past, and it will shift again in the future.
Competition benefits the consumer and that's what should matter to us isnt it?
