They did appear to hold back on certain features in comparison to the competiton, but it all boils down to whether these features are something you think you will miss? Personally me me no. I was worried about the changed dock connector as I have a Bose iPod dock, but the release of the connector puts that worry to sleep for me. I liked the design of the phone and glad it hasn't differed too much from the iPhone 4, whereas this will be a negative for the non Apple fans. I don't feel this release has gone badly as some would like to suggest, and can see Apple selling a lot of units as they always do. Its a nice phone alround IMO, and we'll just have to see how much the carriers are going to charge in order for you to get one.

Appear to?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Come on! They took one of the killer features of the Lumia 920 and made out that they were somehow an inconvenience. I mean seriously, if Apple had come up with a dock that allowed you to charge without a cable and play music through a dock without a cable or having to dock then that would be considered groundbreaking and would be THE must have feature for all phones.

I'm sorry, but anyone who doesn't think that this is an extremely smart idea is just kidding themselves.

For Apple to come along and say that wireless charging is confusing (you can still charge with a cable) when it's exactly the sort of fuss free technology that they're meant to be behind.

Apple have also been forced by the EC to release an adaptor so you can use a microusb cable with iPhones...... But you have to pay for it and it's another thing to carry around so no one in their right mind would buy one.

This comment says it all "Lightning to microUSB adapters because wireless charging is too complicated."

They will sell a lot because it's iPhone. But at this point Apple are relying on that. Just as Nokia hoped they could put out any old tat and people would buy it because of the name.

Yeah, that worked really good for Nokia too!

Not saying I wouldn't buy one eventually .

And when you buy one you need to get a new SIM card as well because 5S uses new nano-sim-cards so if you have some data on your current SIM card that you want to keep it needs to be moved to other storage first.

No innovation. In a word: boring.

As always Apple will innovate when the technology has been out for a while. Holding back features has worked for Apple so far, but it's two years now since they really changed anything and you can sit virtually still for that long.
