re: This striking iOS 8 concept highlights how outdated iOS really is

Calendars, pictures, contacts, music, email, synced across at least three devices natively.

Check, check, check, check, check... check.

I'm sure android phones and system can do it, but it's just not part of a native ecosystem.

But it is, it's all google.

I mean that's great and all, I'm just saying I can take a picture from my phone and without me doing anything it's immediately on four other devices. That goes for pictures, calendars, music, and anything else.

Same here. As soon as (well, at least within seconds or minutes) I take a photo on my phone, I can access it on my tablet, computer, or any device that can log into my google account. Same with calendars, add an event on any device, it shows up on every device, and my phone notifies me when it's time to start heading to the event. When my wife adds an event to our shared calendar, my phone still tells me when it's time to leave, and offers to map the trip with one click. It's all really seamless. Same with Music.. I buy a song, it's playable anywhere. Also, any time I search for a place on my desktop, my phone immediately offers to map a route to it, no extra steps.

I just like the way Apple has designed it more. It's just way cleaner and smoother in general

How do you know?

Having owned both, I've just come to appreciate the way one designs their overall product more.

Was your last Android an Incredible? That might explain why you think Google's "ecosystem" is clunky in comparison. A lot has changed in 4 years, and the whole experience has gotten really, really smooth.
