To add on. Towards the end of the key note, Cook himself said " "We don't just pack in feature after feature...

There are a lot of phones | with better specs that iPhones, but the iPhones strength comes from | the tight integration between software and hardware. In fact, in | terms on memory, the iPhone has around 512 MB or 1 GB, and yet it | performs better than most other phones with 2 or 4 times the memory. | There is no use in comparing specs. | Same as with the camera. The megapixel battle is worthless, as the | quality of pictures is determined by other factors such as the | sensor. So a 8 MP camera can actually be better than a 42 MP camera. | A lot of features usually found on the newer Android phones are | totally unnecessary, ahead of their time or poorly implemented and | after the fad, the fade away.. | I think the Touch ID is revolutionary. I waste a lot of time typing | passwords and passcodes on the iPhone. Now I will just swipe my | finger and in a millisecond I am in. Siri is also performing very | well on iOS 7, a major improvement and though no refined, this can | another feature with a lot of potential. | On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 9:49 AM, Bwana Lawi < mail2lawi@gmail.com > | wrote: | | Originally, yes, it was that way.
