Apple users can't count well enough to notice.

It's basically a plastic iPhone 5, for barely a discounted price Neutral

+1 to that, but I still like to follow Apple. When you think of the people who upgrade every 2 years it's not such a bad deal. The 4S -> 5S would be a nice upgrade, and the 4S would still sell for £200+ on ebay.

Personally I am waiting to see if the Nexus 5 will be any good.

I upgraded from the 3g to the 4s, which was an improvement in speed and quality, but the 5s offers me nothing worthwhile.

I made the switch to Android and a galaxy s3 last year at this time after my iphone 4s and being massively unimpressed with the iPhone 5 specs. Now before the iPhone 5s was even announced I got myself a galaxy s4 and guess what... It still dicks all over the iPhone 5s.

Squeezing a shrinking market, competing with lawyers rather than engineers?

Very Happy
