While he is.....baseless at best he has a point. What he is trying to say is that the law of diminishing returns will hold true for Apple...which is why you see less and less ideas implemented not to mention, they often times bemoan something, only to take it up later. I wouldn't be surprised if they diss the Blackberry Z10 for being DOA saying LED's are dead on arrival....only to make an LED notification light up around the home button or something.
Anyway yea, diminishing returns, it just means the more upgrades the less you notice. The graphical jump from SNES to N64....huge, the jump from Wii to Wii U...not huge...visually. Even though it was still an impressive jump from a tech standpoint, from our eyes, it is hard to see.
Making a phone more powerful, with a smoother OS, and longer battery life, with a sharp screen, AND thinner....that is an engineering marvel. But, we as humans are bad at judging 2.4 millimeters or a few ounces...so these upgrades seem minor.
Anyway, back to the point...this topic is kinda silly. Will a phone of the near future make me not want a phone of the later future.....how can anyone honestly even answer that?
But all hypothetical questions aside we already know the deal. Samsung is about specs...which don't mean much to most people. If I gave my mother a European sports car...she would still go to church, go to work, and get groceries and back out of the driveway slowly.
The phone/car doesn't change who you are or what you do...unless it limits you. And no phone out from any competitor really limits you, besides a limitation of what apps you can download...but other than that; S5, Z10, Windows 8, i5S....they will all do what they were meant to do, just because another phone came out, doesn't mean they will suck or stop working.
To be honest, it won't have any effect on me at all. I, without a doubt whatsoever, will be purchasing an iPhone...either the current 5 or its successor. Specs, I've come to learn, are irrelevant if the mobile experience isn't fluid, simple and pleasing in regard to how I use it. Take the camera, for instance. The camera on the 4S is more than enough for 'me' so if the next device comes with a 13+ MP camera, I won't give it a second thought because I'm not some kid running around snapping pictures all day long and posting them on social sites. Besides, I own a Nikon D90 DSLR camera and I use it when I want to take what I consider serious photos. Anyway, thanks for posting the questions. Take care.
