I think innovations in phones are going to go the other direction honestly. Bringing back shit like eink displays, batteries that last days, fuck it, am/fm... New consumer tech is outpacing the users needs. I see a touch of old standards making a comeback. Hell how old is USB-C?

Fuck it, but an antenna and TV tuner on there. Give Cathode Ray Dude something to enjoy.

What you're describing is not innovation.

Neither is what Apple is doing and I guess thats my point. How much higher tech to people reasonably need or want in their pocket? Is innovation for its own sake really innovation? They are just remarketing existing tech as features without a demand.

Oh, in that case I would have said something like "Companies are bringing back useful features and call it innovation."
