I'm not sure what point you're trying to make or, in fact, what it is I've said you're responding to. I'm not saying what people should or shouldn't want. How should I know what anyone else wants?

Posts like this can easily make any product sound like a non upgrade. The retina display is of no real value over what's on the 3GS? I mean really?

I think the point is that no one NEEDS these newer handsets. When you really think about it, they have advantages but nothing you can't live without. But then that's true of almost ANYTHING!!!
I mean, who NEEDS a blu ray player? Who NEEDS a new suit? Who NEEDS a microwave? Beyond basic shelter, food, water and human companionship EVERYTHING else is a incremental upgrade.
But, my God man! That's THREE HUNDRED MICROMETRES we're talking about! That's the width of 4 human hairs, for reals!
Unsurprisingly, yet another MR commenter who knows nothing about consumer electronics production.
They're called finger cots and they are widely used in electronics manufacturing and other clean room situations.
They prevent contamination between the person (your body naturally produces oils, etc.) and the object. It also prevents fingerprints and smudges.
Using finger cots instead of full-length gloves allows the person's hands to breath normally. Your hands will sweat in nitrile or latex gloves and very quickly will become uncomfortable. Also, your hands have more mobility with finger cots versus full gloves.
They have the same design for 3 years now. They can definitely improve, if they don't it only means they're lazy
It's only been two years, the iP4 was released in June 2010. If you're incorrect on such simple math, I can't say that I'm all to confident in the rest of your opinions.
Comments like these that assume so many things make me want to take a snapshot and post it later if it's disproved. And I did
Oh I am glad, I haven't assumed anything bar FACTS. Which are that NO ONE can state this is a genuine Apple part, Apple go nuts when genuine parts are shown, they went nuclear at Gizmodo for the iPhone 4 leak. Apple have not shown or stated anything about the next iPhone, apart from iOS 6.
True, but i don't need faster processor or more ram. Where i live Siri is useless, so will be LTE, NFC and the new navi. I would like a slightly bigger screen... but not just lenght wise
Really disappointing video. I expected him to pull out a bottle of lube and fingerbang the home button bore.

So... What is it that you want besides a bigger screen? If all you care about is screen size, Samsung would LOVE to sell you a Note. Everything is a tradeoff - If you like iOS, you take what Apple offers. If you value large screen size over user experience, then your only option is Android.
Mine was the 4S, that one was even less impressive than this new one. 4S is a joke to me I cant see why people even bothered.
I don't need a bigger screen (def not the one Apple is probably going to make), slightly bigger would be nice but i CAN live with the 3.5 one. I'll stick with iOS and upgrade to 4s, it will easily last me another 2 years
You failed to comprehend the argument at hand. It wasn't Apple's flakiness at departing from naming phones by the technology or number.
It was to demonstrate that going by past trends, their only options to name the phone would be:
iPhone LTE (going by cellular technology)
iPhone 6 (going by generation number)
The new iPhone (going by recent 'iPad 3' naming scheme)
iPhone LTE sounds pathetic because LTE technology has been around on competitors phones for quite some time. iPhone 6 sounds unprofessional as going by number count at that high of a quantity sounds silly. I still think they'll stick with "The new iPhone."
iPhone 4. The 4th iPhone. And again, they do use generations, it's evident on their iPad and iPod pages for the refurb store.
No, you can't split up the iPhone 4 in 3 different generations. It was the same phone (especially the white one...). Sorry, that's just the most ridiculous way to number them I've seen.

It's the new "iPhone". Plain, jane, iPhone. Same for the iPad. It's just iPad. It just happens to be new. Like the MacBook in 2010, it was the new "MacBook Air".
Yes, with a big enough generation gap the difference is going to be very noticeable. But the increment itself is slow and gradual, just improving an existing feature instead of adding new ones. IMO, this isn't the kind of thing that really adds to a product, not as much as actually being capable of doing new things with it.
Let's put it this way: I'm sure your current computer is much, much faster than a 386 PC from more than a decade ago, plus it has a very larger memory. However, if you were using the same softwares from way back then, only in your new computer, would it be as exciting as it truly is?
