Honestly the last iPhone I felt truly excited for was the iPhone X. That felt like the phone Apple was leading up to for a decade. Then the 14 Pro came out and I'll admit, the Dynamic Island was very creative. Not really innovative, but creative.

What was so cool about Jobs is that he had this brain that wanted to take risks and come up with crazy shit that may have only been theoretically possible, and push the talented engineers to make it happen.

That being said, I don't know why people are so surprised. Jobs isn't around anymore, and smartphones have matured to a point where there's nothing to push. What exactly are people hoping to change?
