    Android is unlikely to look like iOS now or in the future. The UI of Android just doesn’t focus on it.

    Android is generally pretty aesthetically pleasing assuming you aren’t looking for an Apple clone

      It’s absolutely possible to have full transparency and blur everywhere without being a copy. Android has a bunch of advantages that it can leverage over iOS. Multi window blur would be essential to express the depth and just plain look better than the current implementation.

        That would drive me crazy honestly. I don’t see blur happening any time soon. Is blur really the deal breaker?

          Yeah. I left windows at windows 8 because of it. At the same time, I left Android because I could no longer build a custom ROM with blur on a Samsung phone (it was around the time Samsung started locking USA bootloaders). The plain, flat, zero layer context drove me away pretty hard. Also, Android just looks super outdated, like as if it came out in the windows ME era and never got more than a color overhaul.
