This is a meta comment, but I think it's extraordinary that we're only 15ish years from the first smartphone release and we've already reached the "boring" incremental improvement phase for these tiny pocket supercomputers.

Consider how long it took PCs to reach the same stage (with a fraction of the adoption). It was like 20 years from Kenbak-1 to the 90s PC era.

I hear what you're saying, but I feel this release is less boring than other recent smart phones. It seems that they are really at an inflection point where they are able to start really utilizing their AI chips for deeper integration. From a hardware perspective, I agree this release might be boring. I don't think the Tensor3 is a far faster chip than the Tensor2 (for general purpose CPU tasks), but the AI processing capacity of this chip seem like the focus of this model. The new display seems pretty great, but I have been pleased with my Pixel 7 display.

Yes, I think it's kind of odd to see people disregarding some of the pretty impressive efficiency, security, and reliability improvements the phone hardware has undergone. Smartphones are astoundingly good at their jobs.
