Apple developers given little choice but to deploy iOS 7 updates

Posted on June 15, 2013June 15, 2013 by Ewan Spence

Over on Forbes, I’ve taken a look at the opportunity presented to iOS developers with the new UI changes in System 7 iOS 7: Technically they’ve avoided doing a compatibly break with the code base, but for any iOS application to stay relevant it’s going to have to be re-coded for the new UI. Because of that process these apps will look fresh and new to everyone using the. There will be some hold-out applications, but in the main the top tier applications that everyone will be exposed to will all have been updated in the six months leading up

That, I think, is the root of the problem. Parts of the 360 feel like it has been designed for Microsoft’s benefit; not mine.

Something that could well play in Microsoft’s favour over the next twelve months as Windows 8 permeates the blogs, Windows Phone 7 gets the Nokia Nitro boost, and more people start paying attention to everything coming out of Redmond… with the Metro design langauge across all their gadgets, toys and computers, it’s going to be possible to pick up a device with no external markings and be confident in saying “This is Microsoft.”

…or at least the design specifications. Can’t help thinking that if this had arrived with the 5800, or at the very least on the N8, the reception from the geekerati might have been a little different.

Absolutely nothing wrong with James Kendrick’s list of top 5 Android apps (after all, it’s great SEO as well as a great topic, congrats James), but it’s interesting to me that the genres of those top apps are replacement app launcher, replacement web browser, replacement MP3 player, replacement widget launcher and optional widgets. Nice to see that the Android OS is so perfect that the recommendations are to change everything as soon as possible!
