Apple is not stealing from Android! They are Stealing from the jailbreak community! Every new “feature” on iOS7 is really a “tweak” for iOS 6 from jail breakers! True apple did put a apple spin on it, but it’s taken from the jailbreak scene.

Honestly, I prefer some of the iOS7 icons and some of the previous generations. I am not super crazy about a lot of the decorative aspects of iOS7 but a lot of the features look promising. I will know how promising they actually are soon enough, I suppose.

iOS 6 hands down - as contrast is needed over "art" and "translucency" Some things just do not need to be changed...
