| TheFallen said: It's not really just Apple though. The whole smartphone market has stagnated in incremental improvements. Next year will be a DECADE sionce the iPhone launched. A DECADE and what really has changed since touchscreen became the norm? The previous decade had new tech coming out every few years. Everyone remember the Nokia 3310? Then the colour phones, then flip phones, then Mp3 capable phones? The next big thing needs to happen soon, because until it does there's little reason to "upgrade" short of your phone dying. |
That's a normal cycle of tech. Look at TV's. intill HD came out. The only reason you bought new ones, was because it broke. Or you wanted a bigger screen. The companies survived 50+ years. You don't always have to orgasm over a new version. Is it really bad if you keep a phone for 5 years? No. You don't upgrade chairs every year. They just work. And that's all dandy. Phones will be the same. They'll run out of new stuff. And there will be a leveling off. I'd rather the upgrades acutally be focused on making better batteries. Divert all work to making 8 hours or even 10 hour batteries. That area needs improvement. Not the stupid screen, or camera.
