I don’t know what people are expecting anymore, phones are a mature market. Short of something like foldables (which don’t seem to be catching on) they’re going to be iterative updates. Look at TVs and computers. Years of big advancements and then they’re iterative.
Also the NY Post is an absolutely terrible publication to link to.
Foldables are catching on, they're growing absurdly fast.
Exactly, they grow like 200% in the second it takes to unfold them
I got my fold because I was tired of incremental upgrades that didn't make my phone feel any different than the last years phone (moved from Pixel 2 to pixel 3 right prices dropped when as pixel 6 launched). Sure it was faster but it didn't feel any faster than when the old phone was new. The screen was the same size, it felt the same speed, why even spend the money? I wouldn't pitch that anyone needs a foldable, but by that comparison noone "needs" a $1600 ultra/pro phone when base models are $800-900, but people do anyway. As long as I can afford the upgrade every 3 years, I will get the new one. when the screen finally gives.
(almost) fully agree. However, I think people are just waiting for the next "game changer" since it's been quite long since the "smartphone" was launched... and as you say, foldables obviolsy didn't fill that desire. Computers, on the other hand, has seen some quite big improvements lately. Mainly with small, energy efficient chips (like the m1, m2...) so there is hope for a not so stagnant market with only marginal gains.
