It's funny because I don't know of anyone who is underwhealmed by the iPhone 5. In fact, I think there was more negative reaction to the 4 and 4S among the people I know than the 5. I think that we really sometimes miss the point of these releases because we naturally look at the accessibility features over anything else.
