Given Apple’s One-Phone-To-Rule-Them-All strategy, the upgrade is too radical in a bad way for everyday users. It's not like Apple only has one phone available. You can still buy the 4S or the 4, each for $100 less than their successor. So I don't agree with the point on compatibility, I think Apple is smart to get it all out of the way (screen size, connector) in one upgrade. Besides that though, I think this guy makes great points about Apple fanboy psychology and why people get "disappointed" about their releases like this. It's hard to remember what most "normal" folks are thinking when all you read is Hacker News. :)
