I agree also, let us keep in mind one issue regarding the competing operating system Android. Besides issues of access the fact is that updates to the software are under control of your carrier and phone manufacturer. thus, I have several friends that are still waiting for android 4.1 because there carrier and/or phone maker is not yet released the update.
I wonder why Apple did not simply replace the connecter with a micro USB instead of the new connecter, but for me that is a miner issue. If I did not have another year left on my contract I would certainly take a hard look at upgrading to the new phone.

I have a 4s and the only reason I'm not upgrading is because I still have another year to go before I'm eligible. I guess it's subjective, but faster processor, better optics, dual band WiFi, and thinner and lighter, are all great reasons in my mind to upgrade if one is eligible. JMO. Best, Rick From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 7:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: i5 Underwhelming Is it just me or does the iPhone appear to have hit a plateau? I'm not an Apple hater. I have the 4S like a big chunk of you, the latest Mac Air and a Touch somewhere. Yet, I was honestly underwhelmed by this latest model. The hardware will finally look attractive, unlike the current ugly boxy form factor, and iOS 6 has some interesting new whistles. Yet, I feel like these whistles have lost their shrill compared to other platforms. Maybe it's because there is only one annual update as compared to the barrage from other manufacturers, but then, maybe it's because there is only one annual update that the iPhone should make more of a splash. Anyway, for whatever it's worth, if you're sitting on the 4S, my consumer advice is that the new model is not worth it. Strictly personally speaking mind you. Yet, I know people always ask, and please do forgive me if the subject has already been covered. Let's hope other platforms keep up the innovation so as to put Apple more in line with the cool factor it once enjoyed.
