What I don’t think people realize is how far we’ve come in smartphones. The reason why yearly upgrades were such an improvement 10 years ago was because phones kinda sucked back then. The tech was new, and phone manufacturers didn’t know how to make these phones efficient and reliable. Now the design has been perfected and we’ve kinda hit the “peak” of smartphone technology. All that’s being improved is the 16s are camera, chip, and battery upgrades because that’s all that NEEDS to be improved. People also complain that the design of the 16 LOOKS the same as previous phones. But let me ask you this, If the design of the previous gen works, why would they change it? If it an’t broke, don’t fix it. At this point, it’s just become the norm to release new phones every year, that’s just what they’re gunna do, and we should be proud of how far we’ve come in this industry instead of bashing new phones for improving little over the previous gen.
