- kimbernator 3y agoBased on the phrasing of this, I'm not sure if it's meant to be taken sarcastically or not. Apologies if you did mean it that way, because I'll respond seriously: - Advances are mostly software. - Massive quantities of e-waste (and plastic waste via cases, screen protectors, etc). - Perverse incentives by companies to not properly support the user experience on older devices. - Tons of money spent pointlessly.
