Despite whether or not you think it is revolutionary or not, one thing for sure is customers will react with the impression of solid build quality. In the store room, they will see refinement unheralded by no other brand. You have solid glass on both sides, stainless steel, and solid heft versus tupperware plastic. You have a screen with a PPI that matches printed paper, and people will simply walk away with the idea, "wow, I am getting a solidly build piece of hardware." I'm not talking about even how the phone works. I am just talking physical, tactile build quality. People will buy on that alone. Just pick up a Leica M9 and pick up a Canon Rebel SLR? Whether or not you argue which one is better, the Leica has a solid heft that can't be denied.
And you can bet they will be showing iMovie on the new iPhone at the Apple Store. Killer apps are what sell phones. Did you see the iMovie demo? You have to admit (despite where you stand on Android), that is very impressive for a phone.
Making a fully edited music video with slick titles, transitions, music in 2 minutes was pretty impressive. And this is done on a Phone. Again, people, even though they aren't creative will walk away from the show-room; thinking, "hey, I can do that. I can spice up my home video of my kid." Real Estate agents will think, I can make polished videos of houses I can put on my website. Again, on my Phone.
The whole iMovie thing 6-8 years ago was what got me into a mac. The commercial of the two honeymooners inspired me to say to myself, I can do that and I did. I learned iMovie then moved to AVID/Final Cut Pro and it is now a hobby income for me.I,too, thought I could do video editing and I have to say, I am doing that 8 years later as part-time income.
If Android market had an Imovie like app w/ the same quality, I would be willing to pay $49.99 for it.
