I am curious what you (or anyone else who are disappointed) were expecting/want).
I have seen a lot of disappointed comments. But let me recap this years big events that "disappointed people"
The new Xbox one looked extremely impressive, yet it got so much heat, even excluding all the things they changed that I agree we're unfair)
The new moto X, androids first official google phone. It has tons of customization options and is optimized with android opposed to being added on to other manufacturers phones only to be ruined with skins.
Ios 7 got an initial hate period
Now the iPhone 5s which, as someone who knows a little about photography can say that the upgrades to the camera alone are pretty significant. The fingerprint scanner may seem gimmicky, but for businesses and government, this is a major feature. 64 bit architecture is a mobile first. It may mean nothing to average people, but it will help with games and intensive apps. The new motion sensed will help with apps like health apps or map apps and use less processor power.
I totally understand people have opinions, and we are all in titled to them, I just am very curious what people actually want! This phone seems like it is no less awesome than any other big phone. Screen size does NOT make a phone better or more innovative if that is the issue. It seems like leaks or high expectations are causing way too much negative attitude towards new products. We have phones that are as powerful as computers in our pockets! Technology does have to slow down as it gets better
I want to know what would have made this phone "better" personally, I like that apple doesn't change exterior aesthetics on "s" phones because it allows accessories to build up better as the work for both models. I think this is actually more impressive then the galaxy s4 and right with the htc one.
(Please note, if I seemed frustrated at all it is not at you, its at the floods of people who are disappointed in general as if they expected an iPhone made out of real gold lol
