That's actually pretty funny..wow. I actually was planning a few years back that the iPhone "5", if I ever got one, would be the first iPhone I'd buy just cause I knew it'd have 4G based on the roadmaps and apple's release cadence. But now Steve is gone and Cook is turning apple into a soulless corp machine, especially with all the patent trolling, I'm not too eager to make an Apple phone my first major smartphone purchase.
Plus Android is finally getting to be where I want it to be, less fragmented between devices. But it all might be for not as I feel like Windows 8 is going to kill it on tablets (but not desktops).
