I'm still excited about things that innovate. iPhones using satellites for emergency calls is awesome. USB-C/Power Delivery is awesome! The Samsung Fold and Flip are interesting and I'm looking forward to them being refined. Colour eInk is cool. Teensy is cool. The ridiculously good AI-powered cameras in smartphones are exciting. The Nothing Phone and the Framework are also quite innovative. But your bog standard slab phone has barely changed over the last 5-6 years. In the past the features came in thick and fast - quick charging, wireless/reverse charging, better cameras, much better batteries, multi-touch, waterproof, OLED hi-res screens, more storage... but now the changes are much smaller and more incremental, it's natural to be less excited about them. For example, the practical jump between 3G and 4G was much bigger than between 4G and 5G. I just don't find it exciting at all.
