"The trend has shifted.", really? Let's get the facts straight, Apple has been enormously successful with the iPhone and for that matter the iPad. More successful than any other company. Apple is meticulous about the products it builds and sells. No other smartphone offers the end user as good of a user experience as the iPhone.
The truth is Android along with Samsung, HTC, Motorola and others have to put everything they can into a smartphone to entice users not to buy an iPhone. HDMI ports, SD Card Slots, and whatever else they can throw at it to convince people their phones are better, but the fact is they are not.
The iPhone built quality and material is second to none. It's not made from the same plastic material everyone else is using. 2 and 3 year old iPhone can still fetch some descent money on eBay. 2 and 3 year old Android phones are essentially worthless.
You can be a negative as you want about Apple, the iPhone, and whine about missing features you want, but while you sit at your desk criticizing what Apple does they will sell tens of millions of iPhones to happy customers all over the world.
At the end of the day Apple does exactly what the majority of its customers want... They don't care about what whining tech bloggers have to say, especially ones that think they know more what the market demands than Apple.
Plus if they gave you everything you wanted in this version what's to entice to upgrade to the next? lol
