It blows me away to keep seeing comments like this.
How can anyone with at least minimal comprehensive abilities and active listening skills post something like that with any confidence?
Sure, I'll concede it was possible to think that pre-launch, but to continue to assert that after the Keynote is teetering on the edge of delusion.
Apple has once again produced a device that is nothing short of an engineering masterwork:
Many of the 5's refinements announced at yesterday's Keynote were on the level of an order of magnitude of 2 (doubling). That is beyond impressive, considering they lengthened the device while achieving a reduction in weight and thickness.
Folks feeling unimpressed about the 5 likely had unrealistic expectations of a huge design overhaul.
In my opinion, there will never be another major design change as from the 3GS to the 4.
At this point the basic form is set, and the improvements in hardware will generally be invisible, but not insubstantial.
Moving forward, the changes we are and will be seeing are in fact more important than what is superficial.
Apple is blazing the trail on refining an already superior product, wisely choosing to focus on exponentially improving the performance and user experience as opposed to bumping up specs and hardware size needlessly to compete with other manufacturer's products in an misguided effort to placate the uninformed user ideology that bigger and faster is better.
They appear to be keenly focused on the best user experience possible, and for me, that is way more important than cosmetic frivolity.
They didn’t change anything, really?
I would be harder pressed to list things that were not changed......
