I agree with most of what you said, it's just that i believe much of the same will be provided by competing devices at lower prices.There's nothing about Apple hardware or iOS that gives it an edge in the areas you mentioned.

They were first to have a fingerprint scanner. Fingerprint sensor aside, let's not forget that the iPhone 5s is the first smartphone ever to sport a 64-bit processor. Now that SS has unveil its new pride and joy, which does not appear to have an equivalent processor, it looks like Apple will have a solid lead of at least a year on this front. Lots of things can happen in that time, nifty things that are only possible with a super fast processor ;-) Oh, and speaking of fingerprint sensors, it remains to be seen how flawless SS's execution of that feature works out to be. My understanding is that the user must slide their finger across the screen, which also happens to be the sensor (well, there you go ... no sensor on the home button! ;-) I'm thinking it's difficult enough for a sensor to read a fingerprint when the finger is stationary. To so do when it's moving adds another complication. I suppose only time will tell how successful that approach is.
