iPhone 5 Industrial Design

Looks great. All black version is killer.

What I find however ( and may be more technology than design) over last few versions (4-4s-5) is a lacking compelling reason to upgrade. I’m not moaning that it doesn’t have whatever latest tech per se, and I’m certainly an early adopter but seems they only really having something “I have to have” every 3 gen or so. Maybe that’s the business model to coincide with contracts. Dunno. I had first gen, 3GS , 4s. iPad first gen. Hard to justify new hardware where there is little change, though I respect the evolutionary process and not change for changes sake. Just saying, I would love a new iPhone, but don’t feel lacking in speed, screen rez, and 4s is hardly a brick so will wait for a bit. I could see something functional in design adding to the momentum. Kickstand, faceplates,etc. not that apple , I know but when to most people specs and processors is irrelevant would help in differentiation.
