Who says I was disagreeing with your argument about Apple perfecting things? I was just stating the reason why the iPhone didn't gain LTE until the 5 and why Steve Jobs statements about why his products lack certain features with a grain of salt. Those statements about LTE is pure marketing. And it isn't excusing Apple's shortcomings per se because I agree with Apple's stance towards a lot of things and the LTE thing is one of them. I don't want space dedicated towards a separate LTE radio and further decrease my battery life due to the extra power draw just so I can brag to fellow spec whores about having LTE who try to claim a product is better because it has more features in a spec sheet battle. You have a 13 MP sensor? Who cares if the lens and sensor itself is a POS how many MP the camera has. MP does not mean better quality pictures. So on and so on.
But I do have an issue with Apple's quest on absolute thinness. I would gladly accept my phone being 7.8 mm thick( the same as my 5) if it meant a bigger battery( thus better battery life). My iPhone 5 is plenty thin enough. Part of the reason I am going with the 6 Plus is due to the better battery life.
But it isn't a new practice to give credit ( or blame) to the company that makes the total package, not the supplier. BMW made a great engine, vehicle, etc. No credit towards the suppliers that had to engineer the parts to BMW's specs. The N54 had a POS HPFP? BMW sucks. No blame on the supplier.
