you guys make a good point on the design not needing to change. the iPhone 4 chassis design is essentially perfect as far as I'm concerned. the letdown, i think, is in the excitement of something that looks new, just like the excitement of seeing the original iPhone and seeing the iPhone 4 for the first time.
however, aside from aesthetics, i think the case is in need of some new features. for one, the home button is overloaded in ways that multi-touch could fix. double tap on the lock screen to get the fast camera button, double tap when unlocked for fast app switching, etc.
fast app switching is awkward and not easily discoverable; it would be much nicer if i could swipe left or right on the bottom bezel to switch apps. also, with the new Notification Center, it would be nice if i could swipe from the top bezel instead of the screen, thus causing less interruption to third party apps.
as far as people wanting a bigger screen, i disagree. the Retina Display was brilliant in that it kept the exact same aspect ratio as the original iPhone. no app had to change to support it (aside from offering larger graphics assets).
anyway, that's my $0.02 :)
