September 18, 2013 was the day that Apple
reinvented its own phone. As consumers await eagerly for the release of their
to be new IPhones, the drama has been
unfolding around the most talked about release from Apple in years, their all
new operating system iOS7.
"If you're coming brand new to iOS 7 and have been ignoring the Internet for the past three months, you're going to be in for a visual shock," wrote Darrell Etherington of TechCrunch.
Shocking is the most accurate way to
describe the update, but I have to say that the IPhone is now perfect as Apple
has managed to seamlessly improve the functionality of their flagship phones while
keeping the clean and simple aesthetics that has provided them with a
competitive differentiation for the past decades.
As you might know you, Apple has been
battling Android in and out of the court rooms for years and this dramatic
change is a test on the market as they try to leverage their brand power with
the functionality of Android.
I come from using Android all my adult life
and just recently acquired an IPhone 5 which took me on a bitter sweet journey;
I had a huge learning curve for the use of the Apple phone but immediately
became aware that the simplicity it offers is remarkable. You have a smart
phone without the clutter and for an entrepreneur and business person like
myself this is of out most value. The now old iOS version though did lack a lot
of the perks that Android provides such as lock screen controls, pull down
control menu, larger keys and internet interaction. Even after purchasing my first IPhone a few
months ago, wanting to try something different, I did feel like I had made a
huge mistake and preached that the Samsung Galaxy S4 was still a better
purchase for most smart phone users because you did miss out on a lot of effective and quirky features, but now I can
say that Apple’s product is much, much
better.
If you have only used Apple operating systems
you will have to unthink all you know about your IPhone, but the rewards will
be great and will make your life a lot easier with quick engagements and added
features such the pull up/down menus.
