The only pain point that they didn't hit hard enough (as hard as they could) was battery life. They improved it, but they also traded away some of the improvement they could have made for thinness. Maybe my data points are biased, but I can't recall hearing anyone complain about how thick the previous model is. Whereas annoyance about remembering charge pretty much every day was something I've heard about lots of smartphones from moderate to heavy users.
Maybe those users are sure enough to upgrade from an iP3 the iP4, so they skipped that point of annoyance in favor of going for the "fits in a smaller purse" factor?
