iOS has a design change, but otherwise there is nothing interesting. Smartphones have been around for a quarter of a century, both smartphone hardware and software are extremely mature.
And that’s a good thing, perhaps except for tinkering purposes. I have to rely on my phone for several things throughout the day, sometimes more than I’d like to, so the last thing I need is bugs introduced just for the sake of changing things.
I agree. It also means that you can spend $300-$400 on a smartphone and it does everything without lag and at a high quality level. What’s more, you can use it for 3-4 years.
There are some niche use cases like specialist smartphone photography and high demand gaming where you might need a flagship, but IMO a relatively small part of the market.
The one thing I’m continually annoyed about though is battery management.
Why, in this day and age, do we not have a smartphone that can last on a single charge for a week? Instead, after a year or two of use, the devices with a glued in battery can barely last 8 hours on a charge.

Doesn’t seem all that smart.
