This has to be the first time I've seen the hype right before the conference be this low for an iPhone, and a non S release at that. I've ONLY heard negativ reaction (no head phone jack, same design, still huge bezels....)
Imagine what would happen if Apple took the iPhone 6, removed features people cared about, added features no one cared about, and colluded with the carriers to make it more expensive.
It's like that.
