Apple wasn't obligated to bring out an iPhone 5 or a major update this year. It’s the fault of individuals who read into the rumor mill too much. People got their hopes up way too much and because Apple released an evolutionary update rather than a revolutionary update, everyone went insane. However, keep in mind the following:

  • Apple is now offering their phone to Sprint, which opens the doors to millions of new consumers
  • Many people waited on Verizon and skipped the iPhone 4 as it arrived really late, thus they're ready to upgrade to the iPhone 4S
  • iPhone 3GS users are eager to upgrade now that their contracts are up
  • Dedicated Apple fans are willing to upgrade from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S, such as myself - I pre-ordered early on the 7th
  • Apple has brought the iPhone to the current Android standards as far as raw power. If you read up on the statistics and surveys, many Android people are unhappy and willing to go to Apple

This thing is going to go like crazy, the stock market will relax as it always does, and peoples complaining will cease as they see the quarter 4 figures.

I'm still not gonna get the iPhone, due to personal preferences and the fact that the iPhone looks too darn plain to me.

I like something that will stand out, not look uniform.

Look at this http://gigaom.com/apple/apple-more-than-1-million-iphone-4s-sold-in-first-day/ - Now who is worried about the stock market?

I think people were just expecting too much in the update. I personally will gladly get one when they are released. I don't see why people are bashing apple so much. They do a good job at making some cool stuff.

I agree with Joseph in that people were expecting too much, 1080P recorder, better optics and mega pixels, faster graphics, faster CPU. Funny thing is if we had all of that plus a new design it would have been a bigger deal. This seems normal, new design every couple years with general updates around once a year. Kind of a lot to get a new design every summer.
