It's just my opinion but I honestly don't think 16 months is enough time in the face of improvements by competitors, for Apple to reset the bar the way they usually do and introduce a "NEW" phone.
As far as the previous comment I posted: I believe some people have much lower expectations from a form factor perspective and are earnest about that from a honest standpoint. Personally I'm fine with the way my 3G is in that regard. If I had an iPhone 4 I might not look to upgrade either but I wasn't looking for a new form factor just additional Carrier options,increased speed,
the new OS, and some of the additional options the 4S has.
Imo if the 4S doesn't offer anything significant the that's money in a persons pocket. No need to follow the cell phone Jones by jumping on a new device every time one comes out.

It appears in the last 16+ months Apple has just been concentrating on software functionality and hardware improvements to "existing form factor", not to a "new form factor" or they have been and the new form factor is still not ready for prime time yet. They could have still increased the screen size by little and rounded off the edges on the iPhone 4.
Marketing has taken a back seat.
