well considering my current phone beats the iphone specs in nearly every single category and was released 3 months before... and that voice command stuff was on android 2 years ago. as well as the notification system
Actually, the iPhone 4 was more a speed upgrade on the 3GS than anything else. Similar processors and the software didn't see any truly groundbreaking changes (like the new iOS version does). The 4S should have been something a bit more than it was, but I think the dual core processor is likely being beta-tested on the public at the moment. The new software isn't all that fantastic because it's already been presented - had Apple held off on that with the introduction of the 4S, we would be seeing a lot less negative sentiment.Dauntless wrote:
well it's not like they released the iphone 4 directly after the iphone 3
i don't know why everyone was getting carried away with the iphone 5
i think this is just as much of an improvement as the iphone 3g/3gs revisions
The stock took a nice hit when the iPad was released. You had the exact same situation here: a lot of hype and then the reaction afterwards was quite negative. People had been expecting something revolutionary but in the end it was little more than iOS on the big screen. What happened, however? The iPad line has gone on to become a gigantic success.Winston_Churchill wrote:
apparently it drops immediately after every update, i cant imagine releasing a nonexistent update would hurt them - people will still buy them by the millions.

that shit has been around since 2002, what makes it so fucking special now?
Well that's what I'm saying, what were people expecting out of this? Just a new design for the sake of looking different?CapnNismo wrote:

Exactly, just because something has been around for years doesn't mean it hasn't been completely shit for years, you used to have to read Alice in Wonderland to your PC and even then it still didn't understand what you were saying 90% of the time.CapnNismo wrote:
But Winston, your comments about how Android has already had all of these features are moot. If you want to look at it like that then Nokia and RIM have pretty much EVERYONE beat on who had what first. The difference is how good are they? Did the manufacturer really integrate them into the platform or just throw them out there? Are the features being used by developers to make really awesome applications to add value to a platform (this only became a concern since the iPhone and Android platforms)?
and remember this is still in beta, it's not even finished yet...Engadget wrote:
We tried to psych it out with a bunch of random requests, including the history of Chester, Vermont (a lovely town) and the best Ramen places in San Francisco. Siri never faltered, never missed a beat. It worked as well as Scott's demo up on the stage. There's nothing better to say than that. We even sent ourselves a few text messages, which Siri transcribed to a T. Of course, the lady on the other end still sounds eerily robotic, but we're hoping for smoother responses from the alien within in a future update.

Well, I remember when they marketed the 1st iPhone as "revolutionary" while the only thing it did better than a rock was calls, text and touchFinray wrote:
