Im not much of an expert, but after reading some reviews from IPhoners, they seemed very disappointed. Thinner phone with a 4 inch screen (something common with opponents), so not much to be happy about yet....

Well, the problem - and this is true of the iPad as well - is that although objectively it is a very solid, well-designed, beautiful piece of machinery, at this point it is basically a finished product. It's done. They can make it a little lighter, a little faster, touch up the software, add a few features to the OS, but the big stuff is done. What else are you going to add next year? Yes, this NFC stuff would be interesting to add, and it's intriguing to see what Apple could do to really push this as a next big thing, show people how to add it to their flow.

And I'm sure Siri will get the Kaizen treatment too.

But it's little steps. They're tapped out without anywhere too big to grow without a radical redesign of shape and form which comes down to a "why fix it if we're selling 80-100 million of them a year? It ain't broke."

Growth in developing markets will help to keep their profits growing.

The challenge will be keeping excitement.

Probably they will need a new product in the next year or two, preferably next year, to do that.

This iPad mini people talk about will be something, but really probably it will be the break into the living room / TV. God knows the Smart TV scene could use some disruption, and they're already dipping their feet with the Apple TV. And maybe they can contribute something to breaking the cable / satellite company model of TV the same way they broke the model of the record companies.

I bought one. It's my first iPhone ever so I think I'm justified. It's not like I'm some freakish Apple fanboy that wanted to upgrade my brand new 4S ...

I actually like it. I wish the screen was bigger (yes, I know, I'm not happy with the "bigger" screen) and I wish that apple would stop ruining my jailbreaks with every update. Oh well. At least we get updates unlike all non-Nexus Android phones. :P

Granted they have impeccable customer service but those Apple upgrades are pretty much useless and a handicap in the first place which they tend to remove later when you have already bought the phone. Apple's upgrades is a business strategy, not a necessity.

You can upgrade/update your android-powered phones independently from pretty much anywhere. No need to rely on the manufacturer to do that.

Actually, this upgrade fixed a bug which allows people to get into your private data without your pin/password (if you have one set) so I'd say it's actually a pretty good one. If Android had this particular bug, it would take 2 years for the upgrade to be worked down to you. Google might update it fast, but each phone is running (other than the Nexus line) a derivative of Android, and not Android itself, so it takes FOREVER to get upgrades, if at all.

Yep, first they make such lousy security regime that allows bugs access to your private data and then they "fix" it with an "update". Hmmm this is policy, business policy.

As for such bugs in android, it's always easy to have your operating system redone by any Tom, Richard and Harry sitting with his wares around roadside and get those bugs fixed for real than wait forever for android guys to come to your rescue. And it's way quicker than any other way.

Yeah, because I trust my phone with all of my personal information on it to any Tom, Richard and Harry. :rolleyes:

Personal info on the phone? What is that some state secrets you are carrying around?

By the way, the Tom, Richard and Harry would first delete your software along everything in it. So be physically and mindfully present and make sure that happens. It's easy, much easy than waiting for those suffocating updates that only your phone manufacturer can develop and deliver on to you.

I told you, Apple has a policy of crippling their customer and making them depend on the subsequent spoon-feeding that never ends. Get your freedom.
