I think they need more cool features for people to say that they are really impressed with the new phone. But they don't need to iterate more than they have been to keep people buying them.
Apple had its paradigm shift with the phone. You can't just have those every year. Outside of the initial introduction of the iPhone, and then allowing apps, it's really just iterating, and I don't see how one could expect much different. Their competitors certainly aren't shifting any paradigms with their competing offerings. I think the biggest splash Apple (or others) will be able to get for a bit will have to come from a stylistic redesign (Lumina got many nods for this). Outside of that, it's just the march of the features, apps, and ecosystem.
- sbochins 14y agoI guess I'm not really talking about a paradigm shift. I'm just talking about cool features. For instance, I would consider Siri a cool feature. Even though it isn't really anything new and on Ice Cream Sandwich you're basically getting the same functionality sans some nice cute NLP stuff. A parad would be if you could plug your iphone into a monitor and use a bluetooth keyboard and have a partially functioning desktop. I think this probably where we're heading. It would be nice if Apple or someone made a convincing product that did this. I think there is going to be a Ubuntu version that runs on android phones and basically does this if I remember correctly.
