The chief designer has not made major changes to the design of the iPhone since iPhone 4, what do you expect? The lack of creativity has allowed the competition to increase the lead.
I assume you have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5s in front of you to compare them. Or did you forget the /s tag?

Apart from the weight, thickness, length, material, the entire back plate, antenna, headphone position, speaker grille, sync/charge connector, and probably more besides.
Yeah, you're right, they're all minor right? Major would be... what? Making the phone spherical?
LOL at Apple PR saying this was "not a big deal ". Seriously? One of your most valuable employees goes missing from your executive leadership page and it's not a big deal? In what universe?

It does look pretty much the same from a distance with incremental improvements like faster/lighter, but there was some "non incremetal" improvements like the Retina screen and the touch ID.
In terms of screen size, I would like a bigger screen too, but its not ground breaking innovation, but at least other devices wont have that "edge" anymore.
AI needs to either pull this item completely or relegate it to a clearly disproven footnote under a huge correction. Thank god markets are closed today. Complete runs on a stock are made from such irresponsible reporting.
And what design changes has the competition made besides making the screen bigger? How difficult is that?
Agree. To some, design change is to make screen bigger. The truth is that some iPhone competitors made small phones like iPhone and these worked like $hit, so they had to increase the phone size to upgrade hardware for it to work better.
Hmm...interesting...Apple just happened to post 5 new job reqs for the Human Interface Group today. I remember reading that the HIG group was around ~20 or so employees. Unless most of them left after Forstall, that group has nearly doubled based on the number of job reqs posted in the last year or so.
Yeah but you don't trial and error update the production website of a Fortune 500 company. Changes should go to a staging website, approved by an editor, approved by a QA team, then pushed to production.
I also never understood why the entire store needs to be taken completely down for hours just to update products.
I really wonder if they do that simply for the drama of it. Anytime the store goes offline it garners attention.
Easily explained. Ive is clearly hinting at a new ultra-minimal design paradigm for iOS 8. So simple, so intuitive that you don't even see it. Nearly invisible, in fact. Of course, you tell a web designer to do that to your executive profile and they'll just comment things out.

It's called anticipation and is brilliant. What other web store can afford to shut down their website for a few hours.

They really don't understand what it's like out here, with the constant nervous gibbering, do they?

I don't think they need to. They'll end up responding to every tiny bit of moronic speculation that hits the web or Twitter.
I now know that the man on the left is called Marc and, judging from your comment, I don't need to know anything more about him.

That's what he looks like in the group shot... Drunk.
