- iOS 7's redesigned messaging app has a good deal of visual overlap with Windows Phone's.
- Many have been quick to point out that the design and color scheme of the "parallax" wallpaper demoed on stage at WWDC is strikingly similar to the active wallpaper that ships as default on stock Android.
- The order of the buttons is different, but iOS 7's call answer screen shares its layout with Windows Phone.
