I'm guessing the cycle is accelerated if the guy is a Nokia fan?
(faster product cycle, more models to follow...)
iPhone -> 3G = faster 3g networking
iPhone 3G -> 3GS = twice as fast
iPhone 3GS -> 4 = Biggest leap forward / screen 4 times clearer
They always compare their new model to their old one. You can argue that they need to show people whats new and good about the new product, but that sort of marketing is designed to make the older product obsolete.

Planned obsolescence is best seen in NIT lineage. At least Apple supports their old handsets (although in limited fashion) through more than a couple of iOS upgrades.

Only ipod 3 gen. here, traded it to my loved Zippo when i was drunk and decided to stop smoking...
My only wish is to rollback time, not to drink and not to trade... sigh.

Is it an Apple product? Do you stick it where I think you stick it?
