Got my point now? I'm comparing Apple with Apple. They didn't "repackage" or were "appealing" this time like how you say they always were.

Ah, I see. I don't know if you've noticed, but Apple has gotten into a particular rhythm with iPhone releases. The iPhone 3G presented the iPhone repackaged into a lighter, easier to hold form, but it was the iPhone 3GS that actually doubled the RAM, switched to a higher-speed cortex CPU, and upgraded the GPU (along with adding a better camera). The iPhone 4 provided the shiny new all-glass case, but it was the 4S that added a dual-core CPU and a faster GPU (and again, a better camera). Now, with the iPhone 5, we get an extended-length case allowing for a 16x9 ratio screen and better antenna connectivity. But yes, if those types of design issues don't appeal to you, I would imagine that you should wait for the "S" upgrades, not the numerical upgrades.
