To be contrasted with Android, where they only need to wait a couple of weeks for their brand new phone to be "old". Apple buyers really have a raw deal, getting to enjoy having the latest phone for a whole year.
- lstamour 13y agoThat's not what I meant. Just as sales of new Mac hardware slow before new devices come out and surge after they do, consumers are becoming more aware of the market with each device they buy. Personally, I went 3G, 3G S, 4, 4S with Nexus 4 and Lumia 920 on the side, and now Nexus 5. I found that the Nexus 4 and Lumia adjusted me to larger screen sizes, and iPhone's doesn't cut it for me right now. I love iOS 7, but I can't carry an iPad mini in my pocket, so until they release in-between sizes (which Asset Catalogs and iOS 7 both will help prepare devs for), I'm avoiding the iPhone until I really think I'll get $600-900 of joy from it. So don't get me wrong, just because I don't use an iPhone doesn't mean I don't want one. I just don't want the specific hardware they offer today, and I suspect I'm not alone.
