This version of the iPhone now has a sufficiently long shelf-life that it can be purchased without fear of it being obsolete in 6 months. It has all the features I need. As for survival release, take a look at all the new phones coming out, they all have touch interfaces, making the iPhone cheaper and more rounded as a proposition is smart. It doesn't need to be revolutionary right now, it needs to continue to up it's marketshare... which will allow it to evolve again in the future.
