In Apple’s Defense | I don’t usually write lengthy posts, but I’m gathering from many responses that people are extremely let down. I admit I was right there with you. But now I’ve had time to let it sink in and go over the new goodness Apple announced today and I’m pretty excited.

Given that Apple didn’t re-revolutionize the smart phone today, they did sort of re-revolutionize the experience you’ll have on your phone. iCloud. Notification Center. Siri. Especially Siri. These three things are going to completely simplify things for someone like myself. If you’re like me, your day-to-day life operates around your iPhone, iPad, iMac. I deal with several clients a day, scheduling appointments, requests for retouching, estimates for jobs, a million things a day. And usually these things occur while I’m on the road. No more driving with my wrists on top of the steering wheel, writing emails and adding appointments to Calendar. I can tell Siri to add an appointment and it shows up on all of my devices. How could you ask for anything more than that? Apple had all of these fragments of iOS that worked so well individually, but with this update, everything is more connected and the bar for functionality is at a new high. Apple may not have wow’d us with a larger screen and a new look but they did deliver a much more powerful phone and even smoother user experience. Which I might add was already the best to begin with.
