Personally, I'm disappointed. The thing is, I know I'm totally wrong because the iphone 5 is such a beautiful beast and probably the best smartphone out there.
Still, what I liked the most about the iphone, and the ipad, and the macbook, was how innovative it was. Everything was new. New concepts, new icon, new look and feel.. a whole refreshing new feeling.
I feel like the iphone5 is mostly a simple hardware update. I.e every now and then, I'll switch my old memory for a new one 2x faster. It's not innovative or original.. it's just faster memory.
So, this is why I'm disappointed. Not because the iphone5 is not good (it's great!). It just didn't satisfied my WOW factor.

New concepts, new icon, new look and feel.. a whole refreshing new feeling. I can't help but feel that you're misrepresenting the past. The iPhone has had the same look and feel, icons, and basic design since the very first version released 5 years ago. The iPad UI is very much a scaled up version of that very same look and feel. It seems odd to stop and complain now that the phone is an incremental upgrade. The iPhone is always going to be a simple hardware upgrade; its entire design is based around making the software front and center.
