Wow, look at all these bthurt Fandroid comments.

They must be impressed or they wouldn't comment so much.

The SGS4 articles have never had so much interest.

              Recently, Apple got real pissed about Samsung's ads that made fun of them .In the ads, most of iPhone users are senior citizen. So Apple went back to drawing board to come up with the new redesigned UI that will market toward teenager girls. Can't wait for new Samsung's ads make fun of iOS 7. Hilariously !!

                                Anonymous, 12 Jun 2013It can't. Apps in the background are suspended, not working.yes it can.

                                Apps in the background are not suspended - they're working

                                Maybe you need to know how Android approaches multitasking first.

                                On BOTH Android & iOS the backgrounding is coded into the app. Without that coding the backgrounding won't work & there are several browsers such as Chrome on the itunes store which work fine in the background without being suspended same with pretty much all office apps I've tried. Same goes for file management & download apps. All of these work fine & don't suspend at all.

                                I suggest you try multitasking on iOS to see exactly what it can & can't do before making sweeping statements about what it can & can't do.

                                & if you have tried then I suggest you need to learn how to use the tech a bit more.

                                I have both an iphone and a galaxy S3 & both multitask in very similar ways for the vast majority of multitasking roles.

                                    camera filters, square shot/square video formats, swipe to capture will be not available on the iPad 2. It must be a standard for an aging tablet!!!
                                    Thank u apple for NOT bringing these features just to convince customers to upgrade to their latest devices!!!
