    "To use a car analogy, six years ago the iPhone was like a sexy new flagship model from BMW or Porsche. Today it's a Toyota Camry. Safe, reliable, boring. The car your mom drives. The car that's so popular that its maker doesn't dare mess with the formula."

    Game changing innovations like the iPhone come out once every 15-20 years or more. The time between those huge leaps are marked by competitors slowly catching up to, or eventually overtaking, the original marketplace innovators. Sunrise, sunset.

    "Never before have we built a product with this level of fit and finish," says Jony.

    i am not saying it's not true..but it's just funny to hear them say the same exact lines every time...

    How long do these things usually last? Have they announced availability?

    Funny enough, that article was written before today's launch, and yet it's as accurate as ever.

    "Oh look. We added a fifth row of icons. You have no idea how hard that was to do. INNOVATION!"

    I've never bought an iPhone before but this will be my first purchase. Is this a type of product I can just walk into a store and buy a couple of weeks after its release date or will they be sold out everywhere for awhile?

    So does siri actually use your apps to answer your questions or does it still just google everything for you?

    Some of the iPhones were tough to get for a little while, but I think with the 4s you could get one pretty easily within a couple of weeks. It all depends on the demand and how well they anticipate it.
