That certainly is the standard usage of the word today, and that's why I asked. Regardless of whether they are features one uses or not, the listed changes are hardly "small", since they radically transform the functionality of the device, adding several completely new features.
Since you define those changes as "small" (as per the standard definition/usage of incremental") , I asked what sort of changes you consider to be more than incremental. Unless "incremental" in your idiolect means "not something that interests me"

It's like buying a TV with a voice activated remote control, or a PC that has a DVD-ROM burner.
These are features that I have no interest in and would not be willing to pay for. If they added a penny to the cost, I would be mad. If they add mothing to the cost, fine. But is it really an upgrade? No.
Think of the short lived attempt at 3D TVs. Not every added feature is an upgrade.
Beyond this, I'll let it go. Agree with me or don't, I don't want to waste time on semantics.
