I wonder if the audio magic eraser feature will make it to older pixel phones. That and the best-shot one seemed very interesting.

It also seems very arbitrarily limited to the newer ones, 7/7pro seem like they should be more than capable of driving these features.

Is software limiting going to be the norm going forward for phones?

Because, I don't think this is worth upgrading from last years phones from a hardware basis.

Perhaps, we've reached a point in smartphones where the development cycles will be more iterative, instead of truly groundbreaking.

They've already been limiting some of the "AI" image editing features to newer pixels (but installing the same app package on older phones works just fine).

Is that confirmed? Do you have any further sources on that? I am not questioning, just interested in learning more. I had kinda assumed that the new chips had new instructions that supported these features. Kinda lame if they are literally just gating them to new phones.
