Because Apple did nothing to quash rumors of the iPhone 5. This makes me think that the decision not to launch it was made very late. Usually Apple is better about managing expectations.
- tptacek 15y agoThere is no end to the amount of noodling we can entertain about Apple's "expectations-setting". "The orbital laser cannons must have been canceled at the last minute!" In the end, you have to evaluate the device on its own merits. The iPhone 4 may be Apple's most successful product ever, so perhaps this is just "if it ain't broke"-ism. The iPhone 4 is holding its own against all the Android competitors; is it the C.W. now that the 4S will do worse?
- chc 15y ago"Usually"? Apple almost never comments on rumors one way or the other. I can't even think of any cases where they did off the top of my head.
