New business model--just change the name.

But it's got a great new mini dock connector thingy! And Apple are so kindly selling adaptors so I can use all my old accessories, only $15 each!

jimmy's a genius, nuf said

The fake iPhone 5 is only faster because it doesn't have any crappy updated OS that makes the phone run slower...

These segments are funny but it always begs the question, "How many people did you have to interview to get the 10 dumb ones?" If you survey enough people you'll always have material.

Dude, all they had to do was survey 10 apple users to get 10 "dumb ones"

This is total conjecture but, according to a good friend of mine who's unfortunately a crapple fan, the new models do make the old ones obsolete. He's adamant the, near compulsory, updates have significantly slowed his older model iphones over time.

Utter bullshit on so many levels. Do any of these people have an existing iPhone to compare it with? And they found 10 dumb people on the streets? What an achievement.

FFS people, it's a phone. Get over it. Some people like them, some don't.

This is important. Jimmy may have uncovered a really underhanded marketing technique. Anyone else heard/noticed this?>> ^zaust:

The new versions give new features, and new bugs and performance problems. I am not running the newest supported version on my phone for exactly that reason, but I'm only one or two versions below it.

You can always go back to the old version if the new one isn't to your liking.

When iOS 4 first came out it was truly woeful on the older phones, then fixes came out clawing back some of the performance. I don't think this was a marketing strategy, I think it was a result of testing on the new phone first. Anyway, the new phones are always faster than the old ones they don't even need to slow the old ones down to make them seem slow in comparison!

You say that but I was round at my dads today and he'd had to roll back his Vista laptop to an earlier backup because the latest "updates" meant it no longer had the USB resources to run both his printer and scanner. When's Win 8 out again?

And it's lighter, thinner and brighter because it doesn't have a case and a screen protector on it.
