Apple generally doesn't bother to release a new version of a product until they've managed to make it significantly better than the last version, hence nearly every Apple product is "the best ever" version of that product. That earlier iPhones were "the best ever" when they were released in no way suggests that this one isn't also "the best ever".
And the fact that they finally replaced the dock connector is one of the things that makes it better. They've removed that constant tiny annoyance of putting it in the wrong way, they've made a key part slightly more reliable than it was, and they've freed up more room to make products smaller or fit more stuff (including battery) in the existing space.
Yes, it is.
