I'm sure Apple would like to get to a place where their product spec stacks up, like for like, against other smartphones, but in the interim, I'm sure they have made a similar calculation to you - there are enough people out there who aren't sufficiently bothered about that stuff for it to put them off buying one.
Bearing in mind that Apple is a public listed company that has to be seen to be doing all it can to turn a profit, I suspect they thought it was better to launch the iPhone when they did, and incrementally improve its specs with each new generation, rather than have nothing on the market for another 2-3 years while their R&D department frantically tried to build, from scratch, what other companies have grown almost organically over many years, with the revenue from older generations of their products funding development of the newer ones.
Now, a question for all you iPhone users, if I may: Is anyone here using an unlocked phone? I would like to own one at some point but the only mobile network with any coverage around where I live is Orange, so I can only realistically own a handset that can work on that network. Is unlocking safe and reliable? Which unlocking service did you use? TIA.
