Comparing them side by side...just...wow. Microsoft welcomes you to the 22nd century

I always liked the simple approach in apps for iOS, but clearly, the metro interface pretty much shats on iOS interface.

I definitely like the way apps are handled in the Metro UI, the side-by-side navigation is a lot better then having a row of icons that lead to different sections.

I had no idea iOS apps were so ugly. Don't see how anyone could go back to iPhone after WP or how anyone could pick iPhone over WP.

Wp would be great if they got items to match the screen, seriously how can you compare

Great article! I didn't realize how big the difference between iOS and WP was as far as app appearance. Luckily I'm using WP.

Yep, it's official: iOS is incredibly dated. . .

Another win for WP! Now all we need are more of those apps.

No doubt about that. I wonder how long it'll stay like that. I mean Apple users must be so accustomed and embedded in the UI that any dramatic change would be jarring, no?
