Based on Apple's existing precedent to 'revolutionize' phones to the average consumer, I'd consider all the devices in the 5 generation to be iterative.

- nicky0 13y agoLet's look at that. 2007: iPhone. 2008: iPhone 3G. Same phone but with 3G. 2009: iPhone 3GS. Same as 3G but a bit faster. 2010: iPhone 4. New case, retina display, faster etc. 2011: iPhone 4S. Faster, better camera and Siri. 2012: iPhone 5. Faster, new case, bigger screen. 2013: iPhone 4s. Faster, Touch ID, better camera. It's hard to say any of those releases were revolutionary except the original iPhone. All since has been steady improvement. And that's a good thing.
