I think that too but Apple does take it to a new level. The new Maps is pretty amazing. It's not just catching up. It's catching up and going further. That's what I've emphasized is what Apple's been doing. The camera is beautiful and if it took the SGS3 to match teh 4s camera, now they've just taken it one step further.
The point is Google needs to launch a really good Nexus phone now. It felt like yesterday when JB debuted, so I have a feeling they might push out the Key Lime Pie launch a bit. While a new Nexus is due, the OS just got an overhaul.
Can you imagine yet another new OS to update to when only 1% of the population is using JB? Considering Samsung is hard at work upgrading their SGS3 and SGS2 to JB, to have yet another update? Haha.... And we'll see HTC fall more and more behind in terms of their backlogged update schedule.
