Here's the new iDevice. Same as the old iDevice, just with a ton of marketing and a 5% performance improvement. And you can do nothing with the added performance because it still runs a fully locked down OS. Yawn.


What’s wrong with that? Every new version is an upgrade for somebody. Not everyone is trying to upgrade every year. That’s wasteful.


Who is the 'somebody'? Genuinely, I don't understand what segment of consumers will actually be leveraging the compute in this device.


I have (sad) news for you: That goes for MOST of the world. Do you truly think in whatever new version of Nike sneakers there's truly something new and revolutionary in it or more likely "a ton of marketing and a 5% performance improvement"?


OLED, faster chip, better camera, improved accessories are all pretty nice things and definitely not the same device.

You Apple haters are tiresome. Hardware-wise what else do you want it to do?
