Seriously? The iPhone 5 is an all new design. I am sure however the 5S or whatever the minor refresh is called will draw even larger lines.
I'm confident at this point Apple could release any old thing and people would go nuts for it because it's an iPhone. What a nice place to be at for a corporation. So much hype that no matter what you release you can't lose.
Well, the tipping point was no NFC. I just wanted something bit more than what was offered as an upgrade from 4 or 4S.
The 4S has the same spec camera, it runs all the iOS features, the processor handles all the apps that I use smoothly.
I was lucky enough to find a brand new 4S to upgrade my 4 at nearly half the price of a 5. I feel that was the sensible thing to do in my case. It also breaks me out of the new model cycle (2 year contracts are the norm), and gets me into a potential 'S' cycle.
I'm going to wait to see what the 5S offers. Im hoping for NFC and a wider screen. We'll see.
For what it's worth, I can't help but feel iphone is getting behind the curve especially hardware wise. I know a lot of people have a gut feeling of the same.
