Please explain to me why this is a big deal and how does it lead to
a better experience for the user.

 It doesn't ... but Samsung and co. will still be copying it in four
months time, after jeering Apple for doing it.  :-p

 Regardless of whether Samsung copies them, Apple has trillions of
dollars to use for innovation and creating new useful products.  When
it comes to the iPhone the only things they've shown lately are
different colors or different skeletal materials.  Oh, and the dynamic
window which turned out to be a dud.  Occasionally they come out with
an updated camera.  Why bother coming out with a new model every year
if there's nothing new to sell?  The only thing I can think of is they
know the Apple sheep will stand in line for days waiting to be the
first to buy a yellow iPhone.
 

 Because that drives the sales. Marketing 101.

If you assume Apple knows exactly what most of its customers want, and if
you look at Apple's advertisements for silly colors & worthless trim...
What does that say to you about what Apple thinks about its customer base?
