Just take a look at Mac OS...

What's really changed about it in the last 10 years? I can sit down at a 10 year old Mac running OSX and it would look almost exactly the same as whatever animal they are on now.

I know a lot is different under the hood but the look is very stale much like their phones now.

The 5S is going to be an incremental upgrade

They've made "incremental" upgrades for a couple years now. That's the problem.

Depends on how you define incremental

Is be happy with better innovation.

It seems very strange at first

dryflyelk

I agree, it took me about a day to get use to the bigger phone...

5/8/13 5:09pm

The best reasoning I've heard about phablets

5/8/13 5:31pm

That was exactly my thought.

The problem is, if you just need a phone, you don't need the iPhone either

mogelijk

5/8/13 5:51pm

That isn't the thing. What I said was...mainly for a phone, not only.

JamesDean

5/8/13 6:11pm

You mean another inch and a half

5/8/13 6:57pm

Like I said. It's already the right size for its main purpose.

The Note 2 is awesome. Best mobile device available right now.

Yep. I also have owned an iphone and now have Note 2. Ive never been so

Well, Windows tried making a radical change and it flopped.

Win8 is a great phone/tablet OS. The Surface Pro is cool.

tyscat

5/8/13 5:11pm

You learn a lot by innovating but you also piss a lot of people off.

vacougfan

5/8/13 5:14pm

Win8 may be the worst OS I have used in a long time...

5/8/13 5:16pm

Uhm... ok.

vacougfan

5/8/13 5:19pm

That was just my experience...just my opinion.

5/8/13 5:25pm

And I respect that.

vacougfan

I don't think that's the case.

Apple has a lot of money in the bank....

5/8/13 5:27pm

I think Microsoft's problem was trying to force it on desktop users

I coverted from the iPhone 4 back in the fall when the 5 came out...

5/8/13 5:07pm

It's a question of what you want your phone to do

Nikomedes

5/8/13 5:09pm

I don't think much innovation has happened in smart phones since the iPhone...

NFC/wifi-direct

bushy7

5/8/13 5:14pm

NFC is underutilized and under-developed as a tech...

Tokolosh

5/8/13 5:19pm

I use NFC all the time. send photos (easier and faster than texting)

bushy7

5/8/13 5:25pm

Sadly, likely much of the reason it is underutilized

That is part of the difference between Android and iPhone

That is not typical. Get a galaxy s4 or wait for the note 3

I stopped reading after you said Droid. Get a Samsung product for heaven's sake

Crush4

5/8/13 5:33pm

Actually, I'm worried about where Samsung is going

It is a Samsung Droid Charge

HTC One. You'll love it.

Nokia Lumia 920 is blowing me away. Love this thing

pegushin

I wonder how much longer they will survive

mogelijk

5/8/13 5:58pm

Win8 phones remind me of Palm WebOS phones.

5/8/13 6:03pm

I fear that Apple's innovation may have died with its founder.

Y-er

5/8/13 5:26pm

So far it's proving that...

5/8/13 5:30pm

Their new commercials are all about how awesome the camera is.

Crush4

5/8/13 5:35pm

I saw that...

5/8/13 5:39pm

I was about to buy an S4 but should I wait for the Note 3 instead?

The note 3 will be awesome, but prob a little bigger
