I'm not trying to be arguementative; I am really curious. For example the iPhone 5 with iOS6 brought the following hidden innovations to the iPhone 4s running iOS 5:
- Smarter integration with Exchange ActiveSync. Allows for a more seamless setup of an iPhone in an Exchange environment. (Something Android had to catch up on.)
- Smarter connections to wireless networks. For example if you connect to your work's wifi and your network password changes, the iPhone will now prompt you to reset your password instead of bombarding the domain controller with failed login attempts.
- LTE and 4G wireless support. I know the iPhone 5s has a broader range of frequencies than the 5; I didn't see that in the article. With the cost of data roaming likely coming down across North America, having LTE in the states would be handy over just having 4G.

I found the A7 SoC stuff very interesting. It's more detail on the technical architecture than I've seen on any smartphone, period. Hard to imagine how that qualifies as "fluff"...
