the statistic was "the majority of people in china who had/bought a 4inch phone were new to iPhone"

nothing about how big that number is compared to larger phones

this should give a clear response to those saying they've reached "peak iPhone". it enters a much lower price point with few compromises. but still, you can get a Big Phone for this price point with Android.

that's the task switcher from OS X. like, pixel for pixel the exact same.

the app snap works a good deal better in iOS than windows 8, in my opinion. in Win 8 you have to wipe open a side bar showing all apps, press and drag an app out and hover it over the other app, wait for the app snap divider to appear, then release the app, then adjust the width by dragging the divider.

in iOS you swipe open as sidebar, then just tap the app you want. then adjust the width with the divider. no senseless "press, drag and wait" step like in Windows 8.

there weren't any new processors or GPUs today, just the same ones at lower price points and smaller form factors

you can have apps run in the background on iPhone, and switch between apps with the state saved. that's been around for a long time.

iPad Air can do some limited split-screen stuff. basically it can do phone-width app + regular app view, and picture-in-picture.
