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.

It's because of how limited they are. Companies gave up trying to add stuff, and are in fact removing stuff and sensors in an attempt to up the sales of watches, earbuds etc etc. As long as it sells , they won't bother with better improvements
