What a weird article. iOS is an operating system, and as such it's only there to facilitate user interaction with applications of all kinds, and easier development of applications. And Apple has so far been doing a great job at keeping iOS doing just that, satisfying both end users and developers, despite it being a closed system. Seems the dude who wrote the article just doesn't know what he's talking about, but wants it to seem like he knows what he's talking about or something? Weird article.
May not relate to the ios music community but thought it was worth sharing.
The article states:
.
"Users see shiny new features, and upgrade in a rush. Then, after a few weeks of having fun with them, they find that the underlying problems they had with the operating system haven't really gone away, and that the vast majority of the features are more like gimmicks than actual improvements. Increasingly often, the ones which actually do offer something new and useful are done better by a third-party app: that's true of Safari's reading list (try Instapaper or Pocket instead) and of iCloud's… well, everything."
...
"With iOS 7, due to hit on September 10, the "shiny" part of "shiny new features" takes the foreground. The new design has it's fair share of detractors, but if there's one thing it offers in spades, it's the veneer of newness. As a way to make an old phone feel fresh, even for just a couple of weeks, a new UI is perfect."
...
"Here's the thing, though: iOS 7 isn't for you. Not really. So it doesn't matter if you get bored within a week of upgrading, so long as you do in fact upgrade. Because Apple needs a lot of users on the latest version of iOS to justify it to developers, the real targets of the new OS."
...
"That coherence of the user base is a large part of the reason why iOS is considered preferable to develop for by many programmers (other reasons include iOS users increased tendency to spend money on things, and developers wanting to make apps for the phones they use); and that is why, despite Android having a far higher share of total smartphone users, iOS continues to get many large apps first or even exclusively."

The author doesn't word it very well, but as I read it, I believe what he is trying to say is that while we all like the shiny new look of the new operating system, the shiny new look is just as much about getting everyone to move to the new version of the iOS, because the developers are more likely to develop for a large userbase that doesn't need a lot of backwards compatibility and for a OS that is easy to develop on. This goes from the assumption that Apple makes money from the App store. The cash cow is not the iOS or even the hardware, it is consumers buying developer's apps (the profits of which Apple gets a cut of). So, with each new version of iOS, it is essential to have the developers on-board with it. Just look at Microsoft's Windows RT for example...without the developers, an app store makes no money, and doesn't serve as an income source for the company. So, in short, from the point of view of Apple's bottom line, iOS7 isn't for you, it's for the developers.
