They are cheap crud. They aren't sure if they want to be phones or small tablets.
And they all use different operating systems with NO guarantee of an upgrade path.
iOS is hardly low featured. It does everything very well & I have always found it to be rock solid.
I don't want extra fancy pictures and drivel on a 5" screen. I want a smartphone that works reliably all the time.

HmmmThe galaxy, OneX and Lumias are quite good phones they aren't cheap crud.
Sent from my iPhone 5 Buyers are cool with cheap crud. Therefore it's another race to the bottom where no profit margins or innovations exist. Like with desktops. And another industry I'm involved in. People want cheap and are willing to sacrifice quality for close enough. Ill be totally happy when apple is again a niche, quality, product instead of the market leader.~KLM\\01001100 01001111 01001100//Im happy with iOS, I can make the JB choice, yes. My comments were more for the buying public, they now have many more choices, and if Apple keeps iOS low featured, or more to the point, getting further behind what are base features that others have, buyers will talk with their wallet.

I'm not buying until a 6 hits anyway. We'll see. There does need to be more choices and they're will be. We've got droid. Metro. Blackberry. Soon Ubuntu and Firefox too. Possibly Facebook. How many more choices do you want? Jailbreak your phone and go nuts. Or root your droid and go nuts. No one is stopping you.
Sent from my iPadHmmm be interesting. Its true that all manufacturers are now criticised for only incremental hardware changes, thats fair enough cos there is not much else they can add
By innovation, sorry I meant iOS being updated to be given the many featues that are locked out and easing back on silly restrictions. I see that as innovative for Apple, but I imagine others want a facelift for iOS as well. I don't, I like the clean look but be innovative to add theming or multiple lock screens. They need to do something, as while I like the UI, its very old, Android and Windows offer much cooler interfaces for the many that like an interactive UI. I say give a choice, and lets get away from the common comment that Apple decides what we want..
Oh, and it looks like there goes my 4.8 screen if SJ designed the 5S and possibly 6, dang!
