As always, incremental updates are the staple.
Apple please pay attention to UI.
moving along now.

AS for UI overhaul it will happen maybe around iphone 7-8

Don't swimming as current is flowing?

Android is like Amiga, WP8 is like Windows 3.11, IOS is slippery like butter. Who ever tells opposite do because they love what they have.

Its getting old, If cars looked the same as they did with the model T I'd be pissed.

well what about Porsche?

42. ReddD posted on 12 Mar 2013, 04:46 3

Even Porsche innovates more than Apple and I am not a Porsche fan.

It isn't broken, but it is stale, and you replace things that are stale. You wouldn't eat stale bread now, would you?

If I was DESPERATE! I would lool....mxy is a blind fool out here man :(

24. gallitoking posted on 11 Mar 2013, 20:51 6

cars do incremental upgrades.. the Altima for example is being almost 10 years with incremental upgrades and still one of the best selling cars outthere.. so swhy not Apple...

31. ray386407 posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:25 5

Dude the Altona has been completely redesigned like 5 times

45. kellkeezy posted on 12 Mar 2013, 08:29

yeah the outside was redesigned with small increments, just like the iphone

37. Droid_X_Doug posted on 12 Mar 2013, 02:11 1

Mxy does every day. That is why he is not able to acknowledge truth - he is suffering from mild poisoning from the stale, moldy UI. Or, is it the stale moldy bread? Dunno.

38. rusticguy posted on 12 Mar 2013, 02:36 1

And yet you are bored of leaked S4 design right? What a hypocrite :)

4. Mxyzptlk posted on 11 Mar 2013, 18:56 6 18

Incremental yet consistent.

11. AnTuTu posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:10 14 9

Shove it up in your a$$ :p

39. rusticguy posted on 12 Mar 2013, 02:37 2

Consistent at losing market share and shares tanking ...

2. squallz506 posted on 11 Mar 2013, 18:54 8 1

NFC in a phone?! Instant game changer.

44. anywherehome posted on 12 Mar 2013, 06:42 2

The new way to make a huge money;

S1. Buy an Iphone 5s or math or +, whatever
S2. Being stolen your iphone
S3. Cut your thumb and put it in the freezer
S4. Sue Apple
S5. Get an award of 100 Mils jackpot
S6. Stich your thumb back

Happy ending

Since you are providing such "non silly" enrichment plan, would you going to try that on your own?

21. MrJerry posted on 11 Mar 2013, 20:10 4

Only if im desperate enough lol

18. DawsonLee posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:51 2

I'll be honest, your thumb won't survive that long in the freezer~

22. MrJerry posted on 11 Mar 2013, 20:15 2

hm,,
I could use some advices

14. PhoneArenaUser posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:23 6 4

Nothing new, everything already was used by other manufacturers...

17. InspectorGadget80 posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:50 6 3

All u need to know bout the IPH5S its the same old P.O.S. design shape structure and boring OS

19. davenycept posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:51 1 2

Im an Andriod guy since the G1 but apple knows it still has a strong base even though they are starting to lose some of them to Andriod. Apple knows it can play it safe and give a feature Andriod already has a new fancy name and some people will go for it

20. nikenturd (unregistered) posted on 11 Mar 2013, 19:56 4 1

Dual Core + 1 gig RAM again? of course lol

23. appleDOESNT.com posted on 11 Mar 2013, 20:17 7 1

it has a S on it, which stands for S ame price, S ame tech, S ame ol S hit

Another S hit it will be, S heep loves to see the limited vision through Apple's eye

28. DHILLON_ARSH posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:13 2

lol...well said

34. -box- posted on 11 Mar 2013, 23:23 3

In fairness though, the S models tend to be more reliable and less crummy than their non-S counterparts.

Still wouldn't take any.

35. appleDOESNT.com posted on 12 Mar 2013, 00:53 3

Totally, when Apple first releases a NON S it stands for S ux... then after a year, the S stands for S tale but S table. BUT absolutely not S uperior, i a S ure you

26. DHILLON_ARSH posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:07 2

it gets looooooonger...lol

27. speckledapple posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:08

Something tells me it will only be a few nudges forward which this time will surely hurt the company even if it sells well.

29. lyndon420 posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:17 4

Nothing to see here people...just Mxy spewing his opinion again.

30. darkkjedii posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:18 1 4

Just hurry up and release it already apple. I need my money taken!!!

33. lyndon420 posted on 11 Mar 2013, 22:38 2

No wonder you love Wendyg...you also say the same things. Lol.

32. xperiaDROID posted on 11 Mar 2013, 21:50 3

41. kach22 posted on 12 Mar 2013, 04:29 1
