@vamtire I’ve seen that sort of stuff for quite a long time. It’s have been into computers long enough to watch them evolve. And I can safely say that there really isn’t anything new there that I didn’t see at least a decade ago aside from slick marketing.
I guess you never used any of the color Tandy computers, an Apple ][gs, or an Amiga 500. Practically the same interface as Mac OS X except that they were rendered in fewer colors at lower resolution since running 32-bit color at 1024×768 was something not even movie studios had access to.
As for iOS, I’ve seen implementations of embedded Linux and WinCE that were about on-par with iOS, which is in and of itself a rather limited OS compared to, say OS X or Windows 7.
I see Apple as evolutionary rather than revolutionary when it comes to software. Great hardware design, if a little dated spec-wise. Great build quality. Sexy looks. But the software…. nothing special if you can look past the marketroid hype.
We are all entitled to our opinions, of course, but many people have tried to change my mind over the last couple of decades. I’ve seen far too much to be impressed. A flaming stick may impress a caveman, but it won’t impress a welder.
