iOS 7 looks like Android

iOS 7 for the iPhone and iPad was announced by Apple yesterday and it looks modern, clean and much better than iOS 6. After all, iOS hasn't changed much since it was launched in 2007. Six years is a long time and the world had moved on, leaving iOS looking a bit dull and old fashioned. It was in desperate need of an upgrade.

Now we have it, but don't you think that it looks a lot like Android, with a bit of Windows 8 thrown in too. Take a look at these two screens - one is Android and the other is iOS 7:

 

There is a bit more colour in Android on the right, but if you removed that you you be hard pressed to tell the difference at a glance. Some of the other apps look very Android like too. It seems that Apple is following the current fashion trend rather setting it and waiting for everyone to catch up.

iOS was like nothing we had seen before when it was first released, but this update merely brings it in line with what everyone else is doing.
