Why are people so hyped over the iPhone?

Honestly its not all that good, and has shown very little improvement, compared to some of the other phones out now.
I just don't get it

I agree with the little improvement, but I like them. They are reliable, and easy to use. I have one, and it is great, but I would not have gotten it without being jailbroken (I still have 5.1.1).

I know! But the new iPhone had tech from years ago

Pure and simply. Because they are sheep. Apple hype there phones up THAT much, you can't even blink without it being stuck out in your face, yeah sure they're good and connected to everything nowadays but a new iPhone comes out EVERY YEAR with a little bit bigger screen, a little bit faster blah blah blah. So you get an iPhone, yaaaa, next year - you feel let down because Apple have made the "best iPhone ever" and leave you in a two contract and feeling bad because you can't follow the Apple heard. All in all, yes they're good but for the price of one of them - could give you a very nice other phone or something even better
