$300 for the new hardware why?

[yalag]

What exactly do you get with the new hard? A compase?? Why are people paying 300 for things are only changed on the software side?

is this $300 for just the hardware or do you have to start a new contract again?

just because you can't see the internal hardware upgrades doesn't mean that there are none.

Clearly you didn't read the keynote:

Faster processor, increased storage etc...

That's hardware!

Wow, you must really hate the iPhone, based on your other posts.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. But you'd need to be illiterate and unable to look at simple pictures not to be able to see that there are significant hardware advances... just because the case is the same doesn't mean what's inside is.

It's $199/299 for new or qualifying upgrade customers.
