It seems that this is ANOTHER hail mary pass in hopes of attracting sales from the expected low sales forecast for next qtr 2014.

Apple is expecting that may be 20-30% of current iPhone users will upgrade, which is significantly less than previous iPhone upgrade trends.

Apple is aware they are late to the large screen game and consumers have migrated to other phones.

*Apple stocks are also dipping due to the low forecasted sales of new Apple devices.

Ohhh I DID misunderstand your point. Can you provide one example?

I've been here for several years and have seen it happen many times. The majority opinion on these forums about the iPhone 4 before it was released was that the seams along the edge were hideous and "un-Apple like." Then it was released and suddenly everyone loved it.

The iPhone 5's two-tone back was considered hideously ugly before it was released (this was the majority opinion in these forums). Now, everyone keeps saying the iPhone 5/5s is so elegant lol. Now, people are attacking the iPhone 6 design because of big bands on the back, and the iWatch will be no different. Again, once they are actually released people will get used to them, and by this time next year the majority opinion will be that they're beautiful.

If you're actually asking for specific posters who have changed their opinions, it would be a little difficult to sift through the millions of posts here.

Well considering by your own words its the "majority"of users who do this I thought it would be easy for you to find one user.

I think you'll find if you sift through the millions of posts, it's just different people with different opinions. Always has been, always will be :D

Expensive does not equal classy.

I could not agree more.

Yet the Knighted J. Ive and other Apple execs are used to Apple culture which supports their narcissistic thoughts as superior human beings.

So out of touch with reality they're status as classy people making classy products cannot be denied amongst themselves.
