There have been two S releases prior to the 5S/5C release. The 3G->3GS was a bigger change to the phone than the iPhone->3G update. And the 4->4S update was a bigger change to the phone internals than the 3GS->4 update, though the display stayed the same.

Really, all the S releases have been major phone updates, and of the non-S releases only the 4S->5 update was.

I disagree. Having owned all those phones; I felt the 3GS->4 was a much bigger update to the iPhone compared to 3G->3GS. The 4 introduced the retina display which was far more noticeable than the 3G to 3GS performance increase.
