Apple have to change our perceptions this year

How many groundbreaking devices and concepts have Apple launched over the year? I won't bother to count them, but one was the iPhone.

No suprise, but you know what? The iPhone 5 needs to be the last iPhone that traces it's lineage back to June 2007.

My iPhone 4S looks dated, the iPhone 5 is a great piece of kit, it's slim, light, fast and runs everything I want it to do, but its a Dodo and I hope Apple know it.

Everyone else has caught up. Interfaces have caught up, hardware has caught up and the relevant App stores are getting there too. Even the new Blackberry phone is good - really good, and RIM have some great technology in the works.

Nokias' Lumia with Metro (I know it isn't called that anymore, but really? That's what everyone calls it) could go on a bit of a diet, but it's good, new phones from Samsung are good too and guess what? They all have something new to offer. The Galaxy Note is really a Newton with a phone - but some people WANT that, the Lumia has a spectacular camera - and people wnat that too. The interfaces are glossy and slick - just like iOS.

I fear that the iPhone is coasting. I fear that Apple have to release a new phone in the old time slot, June as Septemeber will be a year too late. What does this iPhone need to be? It needs to be a groundbreaking device that changes everything and leave the up and comers getting their great new generation 1 devices working whilst the iPhone hits generation 2.

I hope that we see a device that Steve Jobs saw before he died, I hope that I want one, because right now, I have a raft of great smartphones to choose from and the only one that I might overlook is the iPhone.
