Mark,

I think what Apple gets is the power of the sub conscious. The conscious mind sees a slightly pimped 4S but the subconscious will take in alot more once the phone is in your hand. I believe them when they say they change as little as possible because it already works as it is. the fine refinements in design and subtle changes will be noticed by the sub-conscious way before the conscious mind catches on. The realization that the phone is awesome when you hold it is what pushes you to buy the damn thing every year.

Okech is a cultist - Apple cult!
iPhone is like a woman, I think. New ones are born everyday, but they are still women - if you know what I mean. Nothing new.
Put it your own way; your own analogy.On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 12:10 PM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
Look at Okech, the reason we are having this conversation is to prove whether iPhone really has anything good to offer on this new phone as the hype had us expecting or otherwise. Plus how different it is from the predecessors.

I love how techies go on arguing for a lifetime about what is best for
the consumers and the way the numbers just tell a different story.
Apple with only 1 phone outsells each and every individual phone in
the world on their own - this is what consumers want, not what you
think they want!
The reason other phones exist is to offer you a choice. Can you
imagine how ridiculous the world would look if all phones were the
Ericsson T29 only?
