The first of its kind, touch screen and gestured controlled, seamlessly introduced the world to the smartest phone and OS to date. Instead of bulky and cluttered UI, Apple went with the simplest and most intuitive system they could design. You can see remnants of their swipe and touch controls in several competitors\u2019 products. It\u2019s not just a coincidence.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, they once again changed their own UI rules with last week\u2019s introduction of iOS 7, a flatter and more minimalist design compared to past software updates. According to Apple\u2019s CEO, Tim Cook, iOS 7 is the biggest change to the platform since the introduction of the first iPhone.<\/p>\r\n<p>Though the update won\u2019t be available to everyone until this fall, the media and developers have lauded its beauty and simplicity.<\/p>\r\n<p>Apple frequently receives credit for their UI, however, maybe not as often as they deserve. It\u2019s easy to forget exactly how groundbreaking the first iPhone was with it\u2019s hardware AND software. If iOS 7 is as amazing as they say, I won\u2019t be surprised to see Samsung and others \u201cborrow\u201d from Apple once again.<\/p>\r\n<p>You can check out a full review of the changes and upgrades from iOS 7 courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2013\/6\/10\/4407630\/apple-announces-ios-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Verge<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Apple first introduced the iPhone in 2007, they changed how every product thenceforth views their own UI.
