1. The screen remains the same
As I noted back in August, Apple needed to do just one thing to keep me as an iPhone customer: enlarge the screen. I'm not looking for an iPhablet, mind you, just something in the Galaxy S4 range to better accommodate my aging eyes.
Alas, it wasn't to be. The iPhone 5S has the same screen dimensions as the iPhone 5, which is merely half an inch taller than my iPhone 4S. I'm afraid that's a big no-sale for me.
2. No improvement to battery life
I don't need or want a faster processor in my phone, and I suspect the same is true for 98 percent of all users. What I do need is a bigger, better battery. The iPhone 5s doesn't have one.
Yes, Apple managed to deliver more or less the same talk, video, Internet, and standby times despite including a faster processor, but that's not an improvement. That's treading water while carrying more weight.
3. Still no 128GB model
I've never understood why Apple doesn't offer this option. Most users carry growing libraries of apps, games, music, movies, and the like, but Apple has never seen fit to push past the 64GB limit for iPhone storage. Most Android phones have a microSD slot that allows virtually unlimited storage -- maybe not in a big contiguous chunk, but at least you have the extra breathing room if you need it.
Schiller talked up the iPhone 5S as the "gold standard" of smartphones. So where's the 128GB option many users have spent years clamoring for?
