AdAmBAnks is

Editor in Chief at MacUser.

Howexciting!

Anotherwell-judgediPhonemaynotcomeasa

shock,butwhospends£600onashock?

Last month we told you what the new iPhone was going to

be like (MacUser, 17 August 2012, p21). We described in detail

its 4in 16:9 screen, its new 8-pin Dock, its thinner in-cell display

panel, its LTE 4G support, its nano-SIM, its faster A-series

processor chip, its two-tone back panel. We even showed you

pictures – some photos of leaked case prototypes, and some

speculative 3D renders – that revealed one white/aluminium

and one all-black version.

All of this, of course, was exactly correct.

We’re not showing of. It wasn’t hard to do. Rumours

and ‘leaks’ were rife in the months leading up to this launch,

perhaps more so than ever before; and it didn’t take a genius

(to coin a phrase) to work out which made sense and which

were made up. So, like just about everyone else, we got it right,

and the oicial announcement on 12 September – a date that

was also heralded well in advance – came as no surprise at all.

It was surely this, as much as the incremental nature of

the upgrade itself, that provoked writers such as Dan Lyons,

erstwhile creator of the amusing Fake Steve Jobs blog, to insist

in advance of the launch that Apple was no longer capable of

generating the excitement that its new product announce-

ments had reliably caused in the past. ‘I imagine Steve is not

happy,’ imagined Dan on the BBC Tech website. ‘First of all,

he’d be furious about the leaks. Steve liked surprising people.

‘More important, is this really the best we can expect from

an outit that claims to be the most innovative company in

the world? The user interface still looks almost exactly like the

original iPhone in 2007.’

Well, yes, as I responded when the BBC invited me to

rebut Dan’s imaginative piece (with the beneit of seeing the

launch happen, and not having to imagine it). But that’s not

something Steve Jobs would have disapproved of. Sure, Apple

can do dramatic change; and in the iPhone 5 it has – replacing

the Dock connector that’s been around since 2003, and is built

into millions of accessories, not to mention a good number

of cars and hotels, with a completely diferent design, and

thereby apparently making just about everyone except the late

Apple co-founder not happy.

But that’s very diferent from Apple being a company that

does dramatic change just for the sake of it, and whose former

CEO would have been disappointed to see anything else. Of

course, it takes much longer than a year to conceive, design

and get into production something as complex and reined as

the iPhone 5, so Steve must have been well aware of its specii-

cations before he let the company a year ago.

And I reckon he’ll have been very happy indeed with the

way it’s kept everything that was good about the previous

model while bowing to the inevitability of a larger screen in the

most elegant way possible, maintaining the hand-sized width

of the device and serving both the list-based portrait apps that

have become such a common type and the widescreen movies

and TV shows that the Retina display plays so beautifully.

It’s clever and it’s right. And if it’s not revolutionary, that’s

because there’s no need for a revolution yet. The format that

Apple came up with in 2007 is still right, which is why it’s been

so endlessly copied. Throwing it out in favour of the next big

thing is the kind of schoolboy error a lesser company would

make – and it wouldn’t shit two million of its weird experimen-

tal phones in the irst 24 hours of preordering. Because who

wants a pocket full of wacky? Real customers just want the

best smartphone; and that’s what, yet

again, Apple has made.

Where Dan does have a point is

that it’s always less fun seeing the new

Apple thing when you’ve already seen it.

So next time, we’re going to deliberately

believe only the stupidest rumours. Look

out for our iPhone 6 preview: it’s a faux-

leather tetrahedron controlled by smell!

And it does UK 4G! Happy now? �
