The IPhone is now PERFECT.

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.
