That's a poor excuse. The iPhone is not a need and Apple products always "wow-ed". Apple is in trouble when they are not the highest end product. Steve Jobs was a genius, It will be long-time till someone can match him and be working for Apple.
Apple hasn't produced anything cutting edge for some time now.
I hope they have major plans next year to revamp the Macbook line, iPhone 6. I want a ipad mini by before the end of this year.
OK. You are disappointed because your hope is high. My hope for iPhone is low. Because I know iPhone 5 is at its peak glory and it should be something that will replace it within five years. When that new tech is ready, solid bar type phone will be obsolete. And that will be the end of iPhone.
