Yeah that price point makes it an instant pass - In all honesty, phones, at least for me, have been reaching a point of diminishing returns. I upgraded from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 14 recently, and the difference was practically nothing. I didn't think it was possible to experience buyer's remorse after waiting three whole generations, but here we are. I wouldn't be surprised if it's five years before a phone has some jaw-dropping feature that I just have to buy, and if these are the kinds of innovations Google is investing in, I might even say closer to a decade.

The biggest upgrade I had a while ago was buying a OnePlus phone a few years ago and seeing how fast it charged. I stopped thinking about my phone battery. That's the last real innovation for me.

Your reasoning is flawed. iPhone 14 fits the same use case as iPhone 11, but Foldable fits a different use case than normal phones. You may find Foldable useless but that doesn’t make your reasoning any less flawed.

  And what use case would that be?

    Someone who wants a phone and a tablet, but doesn't want two devices, and doesn't want to have to lug around a tablet that doesn't fit in their pocket. If it wasn't so expensive, and I wasn't still skeptical of the durability of the folding tech, I would buy this. I don't have a tablet for the above reason, but would absolutely make use of something like this.

God and I thought I was going crazy. I have an iPhone XR bought on release day and my girlfriend just bought an iPhone 14. I can’t, for the life of me, see a difference on performance. It takes better pictures at night and that’s about everything I can notice. At this point the only “feature” that I want is USB-C. As ridiculous as this is, the only way apple can convince me to upgrade my old iPhone is to change their connectors.

  Even the apple comparison tool can’t find a difference
