Perhaps your sarcasm is falling flat on me, but can you name even TWO major innovations (i.e., not trivial nonsense like better notifications or better predictive typing, but far-reaching ones, e.g., iOS, iWork, or App Store) each from Samsung and Blackberry since the the iPhone was introduced?

Perhaps it has fallen flat. Trolls and analysts complain that Apple hasn't innovated since the iPad. They tell us that's why the stock price has declined.
"If the many benefits, hardware and software, of Apple's ecosystem are meaningless to you, then enjoy your Blackberry device, which quite probably has a physical keyboard, hearkening back to the industry six years ago."

I wonder if a few years from now we will look back and criticize iPhone users for having a home button. On that note the stupid button just broke on my iPod...keyless is the way to go!

I've always personally doubted that. The Home Button on my first-gen iPhone works like the day out of the box, and we'll always need a hardware 'out' for software.

Oddly enough... I have a 5 or 6 year old Blackberry that is used as a company phone. The only things I can do with it are texting and calls. As much as I appreciate iPhones, I bought my Wife a 4S, I actually have no use for one and the Blackberry's physical keyboard is just the ticket for my needs... add to that the fact that it's tough as nails and it was dirt cheap.
One man's poison... another man's treasure... etc.
[if it wasn't for the fact that the 4S contract will come due in October 2014, I'd probably get another Blackberry with a physical keyboard. As it is, I'll get my wife a new iPhone Whatever and I'll take the 4S]

The hardware (out) is the touchscreen itself.
I don't really baby my stuff though. Gone through 2 ipod touches now. I have a Nexus 4 phone that I managed to damage the digitizer and only half the screen works so there are always with issues with the button or screen. I do like the idea of no home button right now though.
Ummm..... do you have a point you're trying to make here? You just defined "actual sales" for Apple, since the carrier has to "eat the cost". Not shipments. (Btw, do you see a lot of "buy one get one free deals" on the iPhone where you live? On which carrier? When?).
I've never seen a "buy one get one free deal" for anyphone where I live, you maybe exaggerating their existance.

Let Me Google That For You… I see US Cellular, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Radio Shack for LG, HTC and Samsung Android-based devices on the first alone. How exactly is he exaggerating that these do in fact exist?

That's an interesting question. Put aside the issue of app support, has the smartphone industry moved that much forward in innovation since 2008?

Sell through is about 700,000.
Only Apple is expected to innovate.

No, that locks up, getting you stuck in an app.

There are still many companies that will use nothing but BBs.
