I agree with this sentiment. I think the only thing you can do is push very very hard into a new area like AR or VUI. Otherwise you just have to hope to get lucky and spam everything and everywhere to get users. You might also have a very small chance by focusing on whatever the new API is that the platform is adding for the newest release. The app stores want apps that demonstrate how awesome the new thing is and will often feature an app that does it well for free. However, you need to realize that you must do it very very well, not just a knock off app.
