The new IPhone

This past Friday the iPhone 5 was released to record-breaking sales and favorable reviews, yet what I have been hearing from a lot of people is about all the things the iPhone can't do, or is a year late being able to do.  Yes, LTE, I'm talking to you.  Every year a new iPhone is released and people are surprised that the improvements are evolutionary and not revolutionary.  Just to be clear, you can only invent the iPhone once.  After that it's just how can we make it better. Samsung took some shots at Apple this week in regard to how much allegedly better the Galaxy S III is.  In full disclosure, I have never used an android phone.  I'm even willing to bet they have some good phones, but there are new android phones all of the time and only one iPhone a year.  Apple is going to make the best overall phone they can make where their competitors make phones in all shapes and sizes and hope one sticks with consumers.  The iPhone, and all Apple products for that matter, speak to people who like things that just work.  You either buy in to the utopian world Apple is trying to create, or you don't.
