> The thing about Apple is not to judge based on v.1 but to watch the iteration. They are the most persistent company in the world. Yes, and the fact that they don't abandon a product once it ships. Other consumer electronic companies still see products as one and done, sort of like videogame consoles before Xbox. When the product went gold it became forever frozen in time, warts and all. Apple not only iterates the design every year but tries to bring forward the software in the previous years. The iPhone you bought gets arguably better every year. Other companies try to emulate this behavior by pushing new versions of operating systems but their hardware bares to lineage so it's often a Herculean effort that undertake half-assed.
