iPhone Usage Among U.S. Teens Hits 40% as iPad Continues to Gain Traction

How many of these teens are paying for their data/voice plans?

I don't understand how this statement keeps surfacing. The iPhone 5 is quite arguably the most "changed" iPhone yet... It is the first iPhone to have a different screen size, it has had the largest performance increase over the previous model ever, it has a completely new lightining connector, revised headphone jack location, LTE support and is the thinnest and lightest iPhone yet. Not to mention better cameras front and back and a revised design...

Exactly where do you have a hard time finding the differences?

I don't have a hard time finding the differences, but then again I come to MacRumors often so I'm a little different from the people I overheard at the Apple stores trying to figure out what's different between the 4S and the 5. Some changes are significant, some including the visual impact at first glance are not.

Significant - performance, lightning connector, LTE (depending on where you live and how heavily you use your iPhone 5), 720p front camera (unless you have too many wrinkles in your face)

Insignificant - visual impact at first glance (the 4 had a significant visual impact when it first came out), display size increase, camera improvements, headphone jack relocation, lighter (unless the 4/4S was too "heavy" for you to hold)

What can Apple do next year if a lot of people are already meh with the new design? Maybe a redesigned iPhone 6? I don't think an A7, 12/13MP camera and a biometric reader on a non-redesigned 'S' model will be enough.

iPhones are the 'cool' accessory to have. Can't be in the in-crowd without one.
