Everything isn't a "straw man". You specifically highlighted the, to you, negligible difference between the iPhone X and iPhone XS -- phones over a one year difference, yet still with a number of significant improvements -- and when I questioned that you claimed that I must therefore believe that the iPhone XS is the "pinnacle of a pocket computer".
Which is of course absurd. But you are jumping between "not enough change over a year" and "over an infinite timeline imagine what is possible". Try to rationalize your thoughts.

- endorphone 8y agoYou seem to have not noticed the next part of that sentence - "especially when your basis of comparison is one year over the next"
- zepto 8y agoIt doesn’t change anything. I’m simply saying that year over year, Apple has typically had significant features to drive adoption, and that has slowed. But it doesn’t need to have, since there is much more to be done. I don’t know why you’re talking about infinite timelines, but you are saying the market is matured and the job of the smartphone is done. We just disagree about how much innovation is still possible in the space.
