“This is unlike anything we or anyone else in our industry has made before,“ said Tim Cook regarding the iPhone 5.

Let's see; 4-inch display, 8 megapixel 1080p HD camera, HD front-facing camera, 4G LTE, 5 rows of icons, turn by turn navigation, panorama photography. Nope nobody has ever done those before, least of all, Motorola, HTC, Samsung, LG, Hauwei or any of the countless other manufacturers making Android phones. Except for the LTE, I have all of those on my Droid 3 that I've been using since July 2011 and several of them were on the OG Droid I got in 2009!

All in all, meh!

    I have to say, even as someone most definitely not an Apple fan, this was a really lame launch.  At least in other cases, like the retina display phones, I could see it as something new even if I didn't think there was any value there.  Here, all they did was catch up to 1-2 year old phones from the competition while pretending they never existed.

    I really think this is the beginning of the end of Apple's halo — surely developers won't keep flocking to a platform that is losing more and more market share despite draconian rules and exorbitant share of the revenues, and now no longer even has the "unfragmented' advantage compared to the market-leading Android.  I expect as Apple's grip loosens, they will try even more desperately to hang on, so we can expect continued emphasis on litigation over innovation.

    For sure the hardware is mostly catching up to what Android reached 10-17 months ago, but Apple still has the stores, superior developer support, superior customer support — all yielding the image and the momentum.  I think the competition still has a way to go, completely outside of the handset hardware specs.  It's a very comprehensive and holistic multi-variable equation, not only about who is first to incorporate an LTE baseband or the first to hit a 720p resolution.
