“..If anyone but Apple released a major new product whose most unique selling point was a new accessory plug – consumers would jump ship faster than rats on the Titanic.
But not for the iPhone 5.
Analysts predict it could be the greatest selling gadget of all time – right behind the nearly identical iPhone 4S – which was nearly identical to the iPhone 4.
That’s three three major releases over two-and-a-half years and the most Apple lovers have to show is an inch of screen – and a talking assistant that basically has no idea what you’re saying.
Worse – Apple didn’t even build that.
They bought it.
At any other company heads would roll – at Apple they’ll be rolling in money – as much as $36 billion in new sales, according to a Bloomberg analysis.
But can the party really last -
- and at this point who’s really copying whom?
Samsung already has much of what the iPhone 5 is selling.
Bigger screen. Check.
Lighter body. Check.
Works with high-speed cellular networks. Check.
As for that special new accessory plug, well that one is exclusive to Apple -
- who is kind enough to sell you a $29 converter for all the gadgets you bought for the old plug…”
