I doubt it. The percentage of total sales by these mindless lemmings is minuscule.
Considering the "S" model is historically not revolutionary, one really has to question the reason to wait so long for one.
Sounds like you're already making excuses for lower sales of the 5S and/or reasons people are NOT going upgrade to it. I guess in 3 days, you can come back here with a big "I told you so!" or come back for a public tongue lashing! Nobody knows for sure, even yourself.
The percentage of total sales by these people is minuscule, yes, but the press coverage is free advertising worth millions of dollars.
I'm not going to get into a debate over your use of the word "revolutionary". I'll leave that to somebody else who wants to take the bait.
I'm not making any excuses for anything. The 5S will sell better than the 5 did, just as every other iPhone has sold better than the last. I'm merely saying that iPhone 5 owners aren't likely to buy the 5S, just as iPhone 4S owners weren't likely to buy the 5, or iPhone 4 owners weren't likely to buy the 4S, or iPhone 3GS owners weren't likely to buy the 4... Only a very few gadget freaks with too much money laying around upgrade their phones every year. The vast majority of iPhone buyers are either first time iPhone buyers, or own a model at least 18 months old. That's just a fact.
