That's why I said camera shake isn't a given. Those photos weren't taken on a tripod so the user must've had pretty stable hands. It's just as much of a subjective feature as landscape mode. All users, on the other hand, can benefit from bigger screen (although at the expense of portability) and longer battery life.

I suppose, though judging by the large volume of posts by people saying they prefer the screen size of the 5 series over the 6 I'd say that just about any feature can be said to be subjective to the end user's preferences and needs. My point is that OIS is not a trivial addition to the device, especially to people like me who are photographers and who use lots of different cameras, including the iPhone in a pinch and want that extra stop or two when it means either getting the shot or getting nothing.

I agree it's not a trivial addition to photographers such as yourself. My point is its benefit is overstated for the casual users (which constitute the vast majority of iPhone owners) and nothing like the major camera improvement we typically get going to a new iPhone model.
