Our view is that just about all the changes in iOS 7 are for the better, even if we have petty issues with some of the icons, such as Safari, being less attractive. Globally, the market share of iOS is now dwarfed by Android, a bitter pill for Apple to swallow, given the company was first to market with a modern take on capacitive-touchscreen smartphones and tablets. The walls around Apple’s garden are as high as ever, but this tighter quality control provides essential security and less piracy too, another reason why app developers choose iOS before Android. Nevertheless, you’ll be disappointed if you were hoping for Android-like features, such as widgets, the ability to change the default keyboard, or install apps without going through the App Store. And the iOS 7.1 update (and to a much smaller extent iOS 7.1.1) tackles the criticisms that were in turn levelled at iOS 7 in admirably honest fashion, such as the more extreme colour choices and the performance issues on older hardware. With iOS 7 Apple certainly addressed some of the criticism it had faced recently – the words stale and boring have been used by some to describe iOS, but that particular criticism can no longer be applied to the look of the software, which we think is now by far the most attractive and ambitious of any mobile operating system on the market.
