Ask HN: How is the iPhone 4S disappointing?
At first at the announcement I was a little bit disappointed. But looking at the specs and copy, the 4S is hardly any different from what all of the rumor sites were recently predicting. Other than there is no new design and it's not called the 5.
- spitfire 15y agoBecause it doesn't allow you to do anything really new. Spec bumps are nat, but there's nothing new there.
- gerggerg 15y agoBecause Steve wasn't there to convince us otherwise.
- brackin 15y agoRight, what I thought. Personally it was just the structure for me. A lot of time spent on small features, not sure why iPods were included either.
- hunterowens 15y agoBecause it looks the same and we're still an appearance-driven society for the most part.

- stsmytherie 15y agoIt's not disappointing. It's evolutionary, using predictably better components. Like most mature Apple products. I was a little disappointed (but not really surprised) that the Nano was rev'd without adding apps, which would be a) cool and b) further open the app store to new devices.
- brackin 15y agoGreat way to put it, definitely not next generation but that wasn't to be expected. I don't know why it was a shock to many. I still plan to get it as i'd like to switch back to iOS. I felt the iPod's didn't fit in at all, they could have just released those on the site without a launch another time or innovate some more and do a proper announcement but i'm sure it's good for some. Agree on the apps.
