Apple seems to have fallen off the innovation wagon with the past few revisions of iPhone. I'm finally thinking Android is mature enough to be seriously considered. Granted, I still have more time on my contract, but today's iAnnouncements do nothing for me. And I've had iOS 7 as a beta for a few weeks (through work) and I... kinda don't like it.
have they ever really innovated since the initial iteration? i'd argue not. there's only so much tech out there and that you can cram into such a small form-factor and only in a year. people want more, more, more, but it isn't really there. the only item i can really say is lacking is a badass camera like the lumia. other than that, what is there that they don't have? gimmick features like flicking pictures to people in the room? or not actually having to touch my touchscreen? or a 12" screen? do not want.
apple's innovation is in the new product, not the iterative product. i can't think of any examples where that doesn't hold true.
