lighter weight, thinner, narrower, and shorter
Whether all that merits flagship status at that time is subjective.

That was actually very helpful to put things into perspective, thank you. I guess my question was misguided and my real shock is that any of these things can be sold for $250+ when the iteration of the technology is remarkably minimal as compared to most consumer technology. That price point just seems a bit bizarre to me, but I guess the demand justifies it, since these things apparently do sell.
