Apple is a victim of their own success. Their products are so good....people are in no hurry to upgrade from the Apple products they bought several years ago. They are still “good enough.”

I plan on upgrading from the 4S to the 5S for LTE capability when my contract is up this winter. The rest of the upgrades are just a plus. If I already had an iPhone 5, I wouldn't bother with the upgrade, but especially in the U.S., most folks are on a 2-year contract cycle anyway, so iPhone 5 owners would be waiting for next year.

Of course, that assumes I stay with the phone. I rarely use my phone as a phone, but more as a mobile computer that occasionally makes/takes calls. I might switch to an iPad with cellular data and use some form of VOIP for my limited "phone" use, depending on the service plans my wife an I can work out with one of the major carriers.

I just cranked up 2005 model of Mac Mini G4 processor to run HyperCard and AppleWorks 5.0, bought it on eBay for $95.00, similar systems still sell for up to $200.00, or about the price of a new commodity PC.
