I also think a lot of people are kinda put off by this because the 4 came out over a year ago and admit it or not people like having the latest cool phone. Thats a big reason why people buy iphones anyway, forget all the technical crap they are still supposed to be the "coolest". Its what apple does. Who wants to buy a two year old phone? Do I wanna get locked into a 2 year contract (with an already old phone) for a processor? Especially so that they can drop a redesign next year?

Looks like I might just get the Bionic in January. I was waiting to see what apple came out with, but its not impressive to me. Still enjoying my droid incredible 2 though, so will just have to wait and see.

Apple will only release (under most circumstances) a product that they feel is up to par with their image. If they gave it 4G LTE capability it would limit its capability since LTE isn't country wide yet. While at the same time decreasing battery life to a dismal amount.
I can't speak for everyone else but I love/buy apple products because of their simplicity, reliability, and design. I've had multiple macbook pros, an iMac, iPods and the iPhone 4 was my first. Apple is about having the best all around package of any manufacturer.
Compare iOS4/5 to Gingerbread and show me which one crashes less, freezes less, uses more power, and which is faster. iOS 4 will come out on top. Does Gingerbread have more "custom" features, yes. But the very fact that they let you do that hinders their ability to give you a reliable product. Plus they plan it so a new "better, faster" droid will come out every couple months. Who wants their phone to be outdated THAT quickly? At least Apple gives you a product that you can have for two years and can still easily compete with newer products throughout that two year contract.
The only thing I do like about Android is the free apps. $1 apps add up quickly. But I do also hate the **** advertisements.

I am on my 7th mac computer. I still have 4 of them, 3 in regular use. My iMac G3400 still runs as fast as the day I bought it in 2000. Everything works except the firewire inputs, my son somehow burnt those out.

Lets talk about screen size and resolution. Apples retina display may be smaller but has much higher resolution than any of the other phones out there. Are other catching up? Yes, but this display has been around since the iPhone 4 came out.
Did they take the notification system from android, yes. I won't argue that. I love Apple but I won't sit here and say they think of EVERYTHING first. The old notification on iOS 4 was terrible.
I wasn't expecting this phone to be completely different. I don't know why people are disappointed. They changed some small things (as they usually do with their products from year to year) and then redesign the product every few years. The next iPhone will most likely get 4G and a larger screen. But I commend Apple for not releasing a phone with technology that they feel wouldn't be in line with their product philosophy if it couldn't be done correctly.
People are still going to buy it. Many people. I'm waiting for the next one though.

Plus with a higher resolution you can fit more on the screen and play better games.
