It was all the hype by bloggers and tech writers who posted all about "sources" in China and Taiwan that swore that they had inside information about bigger displays, thinner profile, etc. I think that's what people were expecting. They were expecting a "NEW" phone.

I think it's disappointing because the competition is heating up and pressure from Samsung and HTC are increasing and Apple isn't as revolutionary as they normally are. I guess it's that Apple created a really great smartphone that is still a class leader in many ways so the expectation is that in the face of improvements by competitors, Apple would have reset the bar.

As I have stated, I am not running out to replace my 4. I'm rather happy with it.
