I have never met a person that enjoyed syncing, independent of the device they used. I’m also not at all surprised.
iPhones are perfectly functional phones without any syncing. If you don’t want to listen to your music or if you are content with only buying music in the Store there really is no need to sync. I guess the other big ticket item are photos but I have met very few people that keep their photo collection on their phone. The camera roll is all they need. (Also: A single sync is enough to bring both photos and music to the device, no need for additional syncs in the future.)
Contacts, emails, notes, calendar and all that stuff already work wirelessly, for example with a Google account.
This is how people used to use phones, why should that change with the iPhone?
All this once again demonstrates is that something like iCloud is long overdue to make all those rare use cases easier where sync would be nice if it weren’t so hard to use.
