Apple added the Spotlight search tool to iOS back in 2009, with version 3.0. The page, which can be accessed by swiping to the left of the Home screen, allows you to search through the content on your device.
While it's a nice idea, the feature itself has long been criticized for its limited functionality. Compared to its counterpart in Mac OS X, Spotlight for iOS is pretty hindered. Perhaps this is how it should work...

Designing and developing a new iPhone every year has to be one of the most difficult things Apple does. Essentially, it has to take the world's most popular smartphone, not to mention its biggest money-maker, and make it different enough so people will buy it, but not so different that it messes up the obviously-winning formula.
That's a tall order. And it was probably even tougher this year due to seemingly higher expectations and stiff competition from Samsung, and others.
So was Apple able to pull it off?
