Reactions? We know you have them after hanging with us during Apple's iPhone 5 event. The announcement has had an hour or so to soak in, so after reading our initial thoughts below, be sure to drop yours as well. Did anything impress or surprise you? Are you dying for Google to announce the new Nexus, now?
Kellen:
I'm confused, did Apple announce the iPhone 4, 4S or 5 today? At this point in Apple's history, it's tough to tell anything they do apart. Each time we get a new product, we all walk away saying, "Wait, where is the redesign?" They'll tell you that what they are showing you has been completely redesigned, but even commenters in our live chat were having difficulty telling the new 5 apart from the 4S on stage. Basically what I'm saying, is that Apple has their formula, and unless you buy into it, you aren't ever going to come away all that impressed.
They fine-tune, they don't reinvent or re-create or any other fancy word they may use. Clearly it's a winning formula, but it's one that feels more stale today than it ever has.
