Competition forces innovation, but in the absence of real innovation you get this crap. Change for changes sake. Nobody is really competing anymore - oh a ANOTHER camera? It's 10 nm thinner! Literally almost all these features are who cares to users, they are just creating an update treadmill for a product that proxies as a social status symbol.
- npteljes 1y agoIf consumers make their choices according to features like this - then the competition is real and the innovation must happen, otherwise the company is left behind. Exactly as you say: "they are just creating an update treadmill for a product that proxies as a social status symbol" - that is exactly what's happening. Not just "full-time designers need to be designing something", as grandparent put it. Companies live or die by these developments.
- CRConrad 1y agoThere might be competition, but competition for status symbols is not actual innovation. You seem to have got your concepts muddled by corporate marketing-speak.
