So, this update might actually get me to switch back to iOS from Android. Anyone else?

I was thinking the exact opposite. I have been thinking about switching to Android for some time now. I think it is safe to say that I'll be switching to Android for sure now. I was not impressed with a lot of the changes to iOS 7 and think a lot of them are down right ugly (icons, blurred background everywhere).

You're gonna switch just because they changed the UI? Aren't all of those new features available on Android? Plus, Google must be cooking some good stuff for next Android, so you should hold your horses :)

The UI I could take or leave. Apps finally being able to process in the background- that's something else. But by and large, it feels like they're catching up to Android, but not surpassing them.

I'm actually curious what would make you switch, considering I didn't see anything they introduced that Android doesn't already have

Not really, I promised myself I won't go back to using iOS as a phone OS. For the next iPad Mini it'll be great but I'll just wait for Paranoid Android to innovate and get the HTC One Mini's successor. I admit though, that Android is going to be behind doing a full revamp like this.
