I don't know that future iterations of the iWhatever need to excite me though.

As a middle aged user, I don't use the advanced or cool features of the iPhone or iPad. Most of my time is spent doing relatively unexciting stuff like Safari, e-mail, calendar, weather, maps and the phone app.

Right now, the only thing that really drives me to upgrade my iDevices is when the OS gets too fat and things get slow or crashy, which seems to translate to 3 years.

Please tell me what is the exciting stuff then :-)

iphone was launched and sold on the basis of these so called unexciting stuff and this is how apple disrupted phone market.

I hope I did not get your sarcasm, if it was :-)


The exciting stuff?

Augmented reality, location based anything, multiplayer gaming, Bump, filtered photography, CPU intensive stuff like iPhoto, iMovie, etc.

Well, that's not so much the case today. Today, it's all about showing off all the wizzy apps in the app store.
