All in all, I'd say iOS 8 is the largest leap Apple has ever made. The ability for the apps to communicate is very Android-esque and is something that Apple users haven't been able to do up to this point. It's finally becoming a customizable, integrated system like Android.

That's neat. I haven't read anything on iOS 8 so it looks like I'll have to check it out. I know I could never leave Android for Apple if I still had to open apps like some sort of troglodyte to check basic things like the current weather, forecasts, what song I have playing, to use a calculator, etc. Widgets are absolutely mandatory so if Apple is moving in that direction (I'm hoping that's what you mean by customizable) then they may get me back. If, on the other hand, I'll just be looking at a grid of do-nothing app-opening buttons then I'll just have to ride out my SIII as long as I can until an Android phone comes out that looks cool.
