I read this forum for years,even before i sign in and all i can say is that you are hypocrites,i mean this is not something new but with this leaks of the supposed new iphone you reached a new level either that or you have blinders.
"Why to change for the sake of change"
"it looks awesome they refine the perfect design"
etc. crap,comparing porsche with a phone

.
By your standards the imac g3 was perfect why change it?oh but apple did change it and everyone said the imac g4was perfect, then why change it? just refine it(based on your logic always

),but they did change it into imac g5 another perfect one.... do you get it now?
Same goes for the laptops powerbook titanium ....... etc etc.
Now lets go back to the iphone it was perfect by your sayings why change it?and when they did and iphone 3g was out all was wow awesome, perfect right,why change it????but then the iphone 4 came out another perfect design,but you all waited for a new design a year later and when it didn't happen you moaned like girls but you did buy it and now a year later that you know (based on rumors always)that the new iphone will have the same design(just a bit strerched and instead of glass in the back will be metal wow yes i know amazing right) like the iphone 4 suddenly all say why change it?is the perfect design all it needs is some polish.... only for that i want to see a complete redesign from apple,but knowing you you will say "wow its perfect i will buy a dozen"

.
As for apple they don't care they have the costumers drinking water in their name,iphone 4 a failure with the antenagate,then the iphone 4s with a lousy battery and a software that is good but also 5 years old.
The people complained about the imac not to get thinner but to fix the heat problems and if possible to use desktop hardware in it,they didn't listen,now people say don't make the iphone any thinner is fine as it is but put a bigger battery in it....you know is going to need it, are they going to listen?based on the leaks not.
4 months ago maybe more i said that if apple goes that way it will be the first step to take into self destruction, either they will be forced to change the design in a year do to dropped sales(something that might not happen since they opened up in china now so they will have high sales probably+the last project Steve was involved thingie)or in 2 years time expect some major changes to happen and your "perfect design" going off the window.
One thing is for sure europe sales will not be strong and 2 years in this tactic its a long long time in the phone business,the others have catch up and all ready surpassed apple thats why apple is suing like crazy to put a stop to this.
As for the iphone 4s since allot will say"it sell like crazy you don't know what you are talking about" i will say this Steve Jobs died thats right the iphone 4s was out and Steve was dead, most of the sales was "emotional" ones,its like when an actor dies right after he finished filming a movie the movie will sky rocket in tickets no mater what and now we have "the last project that Steve personaly got involved with the iphone 5", as for me i want apple to inovate to give something that will really make me say awesome again,i want to see a
new imac and buy it,i want to see a phone that i will want to buy it and not say like some "i will put it in a bag so i don't care how it looks" or "i am locked in the ecosystem and i can't get out" you know there is a difference between this and to have a itch in your hand to go buy this product,i felt it many times before in the last decade when apple was presenting something new to us and i want to feel again this excitement, i am sure the old members know what i am talking about in this last words.
