Phones have reached the same point laptops reached maybe 10 years ago. They are "good enough" and no real innovation is happening. It's probably just the normal curve for most things. Once things mature, they still sell well, but the excitement is gone. Happened to cars, TVs, PCs and now to phones.
I could get excited about smaller phones though...
- jandrese 8y agoTo be fair, laptops also went through that period where the only resolution available was 1366x768 unless you bought a Mac or an extremely expensive workstation class laptop. Manufacturers just kind of seemed to give up on them. Lots of mediocre hardware put together in a slapdash fashion, and this was not too long after the big nVidia chip failure fiasco. Combine that with Intel's year to year speedups being generously described as modest and AMD falling on their face with Bulldozer and there was little reason to upgrade to a new laptop.
