You could almost hear the collective sigh of disappointment when iPhone 5 finally came out.
“Is that it?” many of us said.
No NFC. No game changing new feature. Just LTE, a bigger screen, abetter calendar display, longer battery life, and a faster processor.Compared to how high our expectations have become conditioned to risefor any Apple upgrade, none of those new bells and whistles was enoughto satisfy the hype that led up to it.
As Information Week‘sCraig Mathias writes, that’s not a bad thing. It gives carriers time toensure they have the network capability to provide adequate service. Itgives consumers (and enterprise IT managers) time to really get fullvalue out of these devices before they instantly become obsolete.
It also gives all the tech innovators out there more time to bake thenext hot thing long enough so that when it’s finally unveiled to all ofus doubting Thomases, it will actually blow our collective socks off bysurpassing all of our insanely high expectations.
