Those cases were about things like carpet color. Computers, let alone smartphones, didn't even exist at that time.

Today's event may not be Apple’s flashiest this year, but it’s important for getting more of Apple’s current iPhone and iPad users to upgrade their devices. Nearly 40 percent of iPhone owners have one of the older 4-inch models instead of the larger handsets. And fewer people have been buying new iPads, despite Apple’s efforts to make them more laptop-like.
