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.

They hawe much better cameras today, much better battery life. Much better processors and graphic processors for much better gamming. More ram and more storage 🙂 Better quality video, and much brighter displayes for using in sunlight. Louder speakers for music. And 120Hz displayes for smoooooooth everything 🙂 Good enough if you ask me 🤷‍♂️

More of a problem if you ask me is that most of that software is “closed source” and they are spying on us all the time. We need more of “open source” software for good privacy and to have control in our hands. But education about those things is the cay. Because there are alredy a lot of open source programs, apps, and even games. But becayse people are litle edycated about all that, those apps are not recognised as the best, and small amount of people are using them. And that means not wery much money for developing new open source apps and games.. Instead, most people are using “close source” apps and games that are directly spying on them all, and tracking every single move.. But we need freedom, and thats why i try to educate people around me, about stuff that i know, and learn from them some things that i dont know.
