I remember when new iPhone releases would make headlines and people would crowd around computers to watch the live announcements. I remember sneaking out of work early once so I could be home in time to watch it with my housemates. Nowadays they’re so boring they barely get mentioned.
Back then each new iPhone was such a massive improvement over the last it was like Christmas day when you'd upgrade. Now the new phones are just slightly better than the one you own. So it is hard to get excited over a new $1000 phone when you just bought one two years ago.
I felt the same about android flagships, now it barely matters which one you buy almost all of them surpassed basic needs and expectations years ago
Exactly! The new features are getting more and more lackluster each year and it is all just novelty stuff you look at and go "neat!" but that's about the extent of it.
