Personally, I can't help but feel that this iOS launch is the most boring one yet. I mean, everything that we expect to be introduced is introduced.
However, there just weren't any amazing surprises. The WOW factor just isn't there this time.
What do you guys think?

I think Tim Cook should name this new ios as ios 7.2 is better. Nothing new for me.

3rd party apps and interactive notifications are big thing for those who don't jailbreak..

interactive notifications is coming to windows phone too, android can do that or not?

If not mistaken long ago already can lol

custom rom or just rooted mod?
that is a feature that i always wanted on any os

Android can do this on standard unrooted rom since ages ago.

I think this year would defenitely be the rise of china branded android phone - xiao mi, hua wei, lenovo etc... Soonest by next year will conquer the android market with the imba price/ performance ratio. For me, iPhone 6, is just another bigger screen apple device since i5 in which samsung and other brand smartphone had had it for years... Getting bored. Just my small little thoughs, btw im a loyal iphone user since 3G.

dont put too much hope in iphone 6

God also want to use iPhone, too bad steve jobs had gone
