I see the Silicon Valley mentality of "it's not news until the product ships" is pretty prevalent here. News flash: this is how R&D works on physical products. Most advancements are incremental. Some are larger than others, but are always built on years of other incremental advancements. This one appears to be larger than usual, so it's news. Your phone battery will continue to grow incrementally in energy density in order to run the increasingly bloated software shipped by the "true innovators". Life goes on.
