Apple Inc. (AAPL): Here’s What iOS 7 Needs

3. More gestures
Apple has lagged Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) in incorporating more intuitive gestures throughout the interface. Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) now uses swipes and other interface paradigms extensively throughout Android, while Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has played it relatively conservatively.

There has been so much touch-interface innovation over the past few years, from third-party developers and tech giants alike, yet Apple has tried to stick to its ways, presumably because it doesn’t want to alienate existing users with dramatically new gestures. Even though iOS is hardly broke, it could still use some fixing when it comes to gesture support.

More where that came from
In my opinion, those are the three biggest areas where iOS can improve, and there are plenty of other smaller places where the iPhone maker could tweak its platform. Where do you think Apple could improve iOS? Share your thoughts in the comment box below.

Even though Android may be better than iOS with interface, iOS still trumps Android in platform loyalty and customer satisfaction.
