What can your phone do today, that it couldn’t do 10 years ago? (lemmy.world)

Just thinking back to the iPhone 6 which is 10 years old this year. I’m trying to work out if there are any features people use that weren’t available 10 years ago?

My dad still uses my old iPhone 6, and it really highlighted for me that innovation has stagnated in the last 10 years, unless I’m missing something.

These are all fair points… I think I may have to upgrade this year for the USB-C, always on, 5G , iOS18, and the better camera.
