Ok, we accept Siri was and is a game changer; difficult to come up with
game changers every time. Some might think the touch id concept is another,
but we need to see. 3G to 3GS was our greatest game changer of course, with
our VoiceOver. That didn't cut a lot of ice with sighted users.
We've not tested the rest of the details of iOs7 yet.

Hi Ricardo.
I'd like to contest your opinion here a little, when the IPhone 4S was
launched, we all knew that it would be a revamped version of the IPhone 4.
What we weren't expecting and which has made a huge difference to the way we
use our devices was Siri which was the wow factor and which was exclusively
available on the IPhone 4S, you could say the main differential and reason
to buy the 4S. I don't know about you, but I use Siri all the time for
everything from making appointments and setting reminders to finding out the
time zones in different countries, solving mathematical problems, getting
currency conversions, the list goes on. The IPhone 5 and 5S phones have
been disappointing feature wise as they have added nothing new to the
feature set of the operating system, they have just built in the new
hardware such as faster processor etc. The best way for Apple to lure
customers in to buying a new phone as we all found out with the 4S was to
introduce something revolutionary, something unique that everyone would find
useful.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi,
I don’t think the phones are bad. If someone expected more, I don’t think
they’ve been paying attention to what Apple has been doing the last 6 years.
For example, what is the difference between the 4 and 4S except Siri, and a
better camera? And the difference between the 5 and 5S is touch ID, and a
better camera. And in both cases, the mandatory bump in processor power.
Essentially, if you have an iPhone 5, I don’t think Apple cared either way
what you thought of the 5S. Reason being? Everyone who bought an iPhone 5
is not eligible for an upgrade yet, and most likely won’t be for a while.
So it’s customers that Apple wouldn’t have had in the first place.
And the 5C? I think that’s brilliant. Your taking what would be a
discounted iPhone 5, and putting it in a new body to make it look new,
instead of just last years phone at a low price. Sure, you and I might know
its the an iPhone 5 in different clothes but, the majority of phone buyers
will not make this distinction.
jmo.
