If other platforms are moving faster it is only because they are far behind.
As for innovations slowing down; as any technology matures change
will naturally slow down.
It can not do otherwise.
Everything moves faster when starting from zero.
This is truly basic stuff and I wonder why people keep acting shocked
when they encounter it.

I think that's what I was getting at: Going from the 4S to the 5 is not
going to be substantially different. There's a reason why I chose the
iPhone, but I don't think it unfair to say that Apple appears to be
innovating at a slower rate than when Jobs was in charge. That doesn't mean
that Cook is not innovative or that the iPhone is falling way behind. All
things considered though, I think other platforms are raising the bar at a
faster rate. Since we're relying on one major OS upgrade a year, I'd like to
see that upgrade pack a punch. Hardware-wise, I think they're doing what
they need to do to keep pace. The camera is more dynamic even if it stayed
at 8 MP. But, Do Not Disturb is nothing to be wowed by when other platforms
were doing this already. I'm fine with them going rogue on maps, but why fix
something that wasn't broken? The same is true of Youtube. Perhaps my
greater complaint is that Apple is attempting to pit itself against Google
when Google could in fact help iOS stay ahead of the curve. Anyway,
regardless, I am glad that accessibility is still built into the core, and
that is something that for me personally keeps the iPhone ahead of
everything else.--Joe

Did you all consider that some people might have NFC what NFC is? LOL, just
kidding. Every time I hear NFC, I don't think payment system. I think, "No
F.....g Clue".
Anyway, seriously though, I'm not going to belittle anyone who upgrades from
the 4S to the 5 because after all, it's still moving up the chain of new
devices. However for me personally, I can wait because with what I can get
out of the 4S, I can't justify a new phone just yet. Now, if I was coming
from the 3GS or the 4, then I would definitely be getting the 5.
Cheers.
