Without any true competition, don't expect much innovation from Amazon. They have no reason to innovate when they have no direct competitor. They could can simply use marketing speak and make a very slight improvement sound big, and many will flock to buy it. Ooooooooo! They changed the logo--gotta have, gotta have!
30% faster is still faster. Do you want slower or the same? Also, flexible would mean no more glass and not so easy to break when dropped or bashed.
