Seems like a statement in need of support. Certainly that's a factor, but it seems like a ton of people [including non-Apple-geeks] are interested in and talking about the phone (especially Siri but also the camera) and saying they're "utterly amazed".
- ajross 15y agoIf the previous statement is in need of support, surely you have a cite for that ton of non-Apple-geeks saying they're "utterly amazed" by Siri and the camera, right?
- glhaynes 15y agoOf course I don't have a formal citation, but I was only countering the earlier poster's firm pronouncement of why they had sold so many with a note that his/her statement was just conjecture. As I said, certainly that conjecture plays some part, but it doesn't seem valid to me to state that it's "the reason" for these sales in opposition to other reasons that customers (on Twitter, Facebook, the nightly news, etc) are (yes, anecdotally) giving.

Yeah, people are impressed by Siri, even if they just want to make fun of it (in Australia we call that Tall Poppy Syndrome)
