I agree, I’m fine with the way Apple does their yearly upgrades, but I also agree with the sentiment that every now and again they should implement more new features. Just every 2-3 years, work on those em features that time and out them in.
Not innovating? I will argue this point every single time. Is 3D mapping new? No. But Apple is the first company that I know of to fit fast and accurate 3D mapping into a phone and in only a tiny little space that occupies that notch you dislike so much. There’s only so much you can do there. And Apple innovates tremendously on internal hardware. Androids still need anywhere between 4-8GB of RAM and around octacore processors to do what Apple has done with 1GB of RAM and a dual core processor. Now the new iPhones have a hexacore processor with 3GB of RAM that outperforms every other smartphone. Apple is the first company I know of to have 4K at 60fps recording capabilities on a phone, and with the exception of a Sony phone, Apple is the first company to implement 1080p at 240fps slow-mo video capture. For most people these are minimal upgrades, but they are great updates because Apple did it all in the same size body and even did it and more in the smaller body of the X.
If you read what I posted and then read what you posted, you will see that you have just made my points.
3D mapping isn't new, Apple made it better and put it on a phone.
Android phones outspec Apple on hardware yet Apple makes their phones better with lower RAM.
Apple follows Sony in photography capability but it's perfectly executed in their devices.
That's my point. With every qualifier you wrote, you proved my point that Apple takes what is out there and optimises it in their implementation to where it's a simpler, more capable, and therefore better lends itself to the different types of customers who use its products.
Not going to get into a war here. I answered the OP's point as to whether I agreed. I agreed. There are those who will not and that's cool.
Peace out.
