    The 12 Days of Christmas app is a metaphor for Apple right now. It’s run out of ideas on mobile, and is burning through goodwill.

        @bazzacollins Mr Crab is actually a pretty good game. As for running out of ideas, I bet Android will be finger-sensortastic in 2014.

        @CraigGrannell I'm sure it will, but it's a trivial feature. The big trend in smartphones this year will be falling prices.

        @bazzacollins Also, it might be a trivial feature, but it’s implemented well and I’m finding it really usable and useful.

        @CraigGrannell It's not a reason to spend £300 more on a phone. Handsets like the Moto G are going to give Apple real problems soon.

        @bazzacollins It alone isn’t, no, but Android in general still feels messy and clunky to me, even compared to the flawed iOS 7.

        @CraigGrannell I also don't think there's much between Android and iOS any more. It has foibles, but most of them are easily countered.

        @bazzacollins It still reminds me a bit of an Amstrad when it comes to games and high-end creative apps.

        @CraigGrannell Agree that apps are still Apple's strongest suit, but gap isn't that wide on smartphones. Android tablet selection is poor.

        @bazzacollins The first year of 12DoC I d/led nearly everything. Most was of interest. This year I've bit the button twice.

        @bazzacollins Either it is getting worse, or I'm getting pickier. Given that I've always been a picky bastard…

        @PaulOckenden It's definitely getting worse. Damaging Apple's premium reputation.

        @bazzacollins I think that reputation is reserved for laptops/desktops now. Certainly no longer top of the smartphone pyramid.

        @allpointsnorth Rayman was good, but given away last yr. Tom Odell tracks are decent. Otherwise shoddy.

        @MartinPPorter Maybe a reward for developers who've done Apple a favour over the year.
