They've come close, if not surpassed with the latest iPhone. Remember I've owned the 920, the 1020, and the 1520...
And I get what you guys are saying about iOS being boring. The simplicity of it is what lends to the transparency of the OS. It brings the content and the apps forward. I find myself spending less time fiddling with the OS, and more time enjoying the content and the apps I love.
Part of me still loves customizing my Start screen on my 1520, but another part of me loves the maintenance free appeal of iOS.
It might be that I'm predestined to carry two phones! It's not the first time this has happened lol (yes, I'm still carrying the 1520 around in one pocket, and the 6S Plus in the other!)
