Is this one reason why 4S is the same as 4?

accessories.

building new iphone 4s identical form factor previous 1.5 years if iphone 4 have not huge selection of accessories on shelves, build strong support accessory makers can keep selling products longer, avoid new tooling costs.

1 slap @ “fragmentation” of android market, each phone needs different case, fewer vendors willing support them.

see hell-of-a-lot more (cool) iphone cases compared android cases combined @ bestbuy. not surprised if teen crowd demands iphone based on case.

while might not reason believe why 4s same (externally) 4, agree point part (no matter how small) of cell phone buying decision dependent on available accessories , iphone (or matter apple product) blows competition away. had wp7 phone , 1 of best phones have come across. once begin see orphan no accessory manufacturer cares about, feel left out gets worse when see reviews, posts, threads 'a cool new case' released iphone
