What we had 15 years ago vs. today is not a good predictor of the level of change we're going to have over the next 15 years. Especially when we're talking about something that was a brand new product category and brand new technology 15 years ago.

I know people who are still perfectly happy with 7+-year-old iPhones. The limiting factor for many people is not processor speed or RAM or storage space, but the lack of OS updates (especially security updates).

(Certainly those other things are limiting factors for some people, but I don't think it's anywhere near as common as it is for the HN crowd. And the storage space issue can be solved with a microSD card slot, which, sadly, few phones include these days.)
