The way Apple is iterating slower and slower on all product lines is kinda sad. It's not like there's a shortage of things to do - it just feels like they got in the habit of small increments to cut costs everywhere (keep the design exactly the same to reuse the same machines, minor software tweaks, etc). The updates are so minor, they don't even bother to put on a show (like this one - a major product, launched as a release note).

I guess even that saves some money too...
