Yeah pretty much! Everybody keeps complaining that the new phones aren’t very innovative and like… what do you want them to do? I can’t really even imagine anything more a phone can do with current technology other than incremental improvements. Maybe I just lack imagination, and I guess there’s some stuff I want like USB C and maybe to eventually get rid of the notch for FaceID… but I just don’t care enough to replace my phone until it dies. Honestly my current phone is barely any different from my phone from 10 years ago for all intents and purposes. The only thing I want my phone to do that it doesn’t already is software stuff… Like allowing sideloaded apps, or better support for things like nfc for transit systems… Hardware wise… What could I possibly even want?
Overall this event was pretty mid imo 🥱
Beginning to feel like this industry is stagnating. Just doing enough to appease the stockholders and pump the stock.
Phones are completely boring now, colours should not be newsworthy but they always get a mention because everything else moves at snail’s pace.
At least Jobs had vision to push innovation.
The tech has peaked. There aren’t gonna be any new bangers. No one has needed to upgrade for like 6+ years now
