If you want to snark, I'm sure you can find a circlejerk elsewhere with a very receptive audience.

WOW.
Anyway, I like the new iPhone, but I'm very happy with my new Android based phone. I have just two or three thoughts:
1. Apple has several very successful business units, but this is its most profitable and for branding purposes its most important
(it being mainstream and all 
).
They must have a mountain of consumar data that this is the right mix of form and features to maximize those profits and keep its userbase loyal and happy. I doubt any of us here have given 2% the thought that the exec team has to whats right for the userbase. They are not building a base now,but maintaining it.
2. Many Android
(or is it anti-Apple?) fans
(hi crusader 
) seem to think that more choice among faster iterations and more cutting edge technology is the right mix for
everyone and they really can't understand why people keep buying Apple phones. Surely those people could find better choice among android based offerings -- they say.
If Android fans theory is right, Apple release today will give Android ecosystem best chance ever to significantly take userbase from Apple. Apple thinks conservative and Android opposite. We will know in half year who is right.
