iPhone Fever Is Fading
- blhack 14y agoApple did a silly thing by locking themselves to one single design. The iPhone is instantly recognizable, sure, but it's also old at this point. Something like the galaxy s3 has a bigger screen, feels more pleasant in my hands than my iPhones, and is something that apple would have a tough time changing to. Yes, they made it a little tiny bit longer, but it's still more-or-less the same design.
- solox3 14y agoTheir mistake was a marketing one, where each version of the phone is perfectly designed, but "the next phone is just more perfect than the previous one". This went on for an unsustainable period of time, particularly when "iPhone 5" isn't the fifth iPhone.
- larrik 14y agoI think its the software itself that feels ancient. The home screen is basically identical to the first iPhone's. The navigation is clunky, too, compared to most of its competitors. (Note: iPhone user since 3G, iPhone app developer too)
- alayne 14y agoThis is speculation parading as news.

- Tycho 14y agoThe design of the iPhone 5 isn't up to scratch, IMO. The black model especially looks like something the janitor from a Hitachi research lab. The iPhone 4, on the other hand, was a design classic.
