I think most people are probably bored with the overall look and feel, as well as the lack of features compared to droids. The ONLY reason I have stuck w iPhone is the smoothness of the interface.


Yep. People are sooo bored with the iPhone.

I'm seeing a lot of the "it just works" mentality in this thread. That's nice and all, that your $500 phone "works"....but is that really where we're gonna set the bar? In 2014?
I'm pretty bored with iPhones, but I also love them.
Before Android and iOS we just used to buy the mobile phone we best liked the look and spec of, changing brands and o/s every twelve months. Now with 'ecosystems' and money invested in apps etc, we feel inclined to stick with a manufacturer until they REALLY make a mess of things.
I have just bought an Android tablet and I'm enjoying it for the most part...but it is also reaffirming to me what I love about iOS. I'm happy to have the best of both worlds.
People need to understand how luxury manufacturers work. Traditionally luxury manufacturers know their clients very well.
Clients don't like drastic changes year after year. If you follow BMW, look at how they redesign their modesl (whether the 3,5, or 7 series). Each new model that comes out every 6-7 years still resembles the previous generation.
Apple is building a brand. The iPhone brand. When people see the shadow of the iPhone, they know it is the iPhone. They may not know it's an iPhone 3/3gs/4/4gs/5//5s. But they know it's an iPhone.

The 5/5S is not that much different in form than the 4/4S. Even with iOS 7, which is not dramatically different either, it still feels sort of stale. How has Apple gotten away with this?
Based on this thread and the amount of iPhone users verses everything else I see around I would say you are wrong.
It's true your first iPhone is the greatest one you owned (well at least for me) because my previous phone was well crap to be honest.
But I'll buy the next iPhone because it has the familiar thing I like, like iOS, my apps, my content oh and it just works!
You're starting the same kinds of threads here now?
You folks are in for a treat. Carry on.

He posted this crap on another forum until he wore out his welcome. He started one thread after another bitching about stuff on his iPhone. I honestly don't know why he owns one. I think he just likes seeing his own posts.
