You don't know that. They're only just starting, but in 5 years they most definitely will be more refined.

Thank you! I don’t know why we can’t have a richer interface. The flat design has slightly matured and looks ok, but these phones have such high pixel density and vibrant screens. Why must everything be flat and 2D?
Skeuomorphism should come back. Not as extreme and tacky as it was, but in a nice new updated format.
If you invent something, then you are by definition innovating. Not if you‘re adopting/licensing/integrating technology into a housing of a known device classifier.
Say if there‘s only been wireless charging as a base concept/function and you slam two of those units together to create reverse charging, then you are in some way innovating because you changed the nature of that tech.
Adding sensors, cameras, stacking boards, buying faster modems (?) etc. does not involve innovating. You can however say that Apple advanced facial recognition and highly influenced the market with its adoption and stellar software/hardware integration of that tech. And they‘re (arguably) still the pioneers of the smartphone engineering market and lead in other areas where others failed (AirPods, smartwatches etc.)
I still have my OG iPhone. I’ve sold all subsequent models but I’ll never this.
I remember finally getting my hands on it at launch and being blown away by how accurate multi touch was and having the actual full internet in my hands on it. Before that it was WAP and it was just a bunch of links to click on a page.

I have owned every iPhone and I always tell people to remember what was. Loved this video. I wish I held onto the original.
Not at all. But let’s face it they were a bit horrible to use. I also had many years before the the Motorola A1000, I think that was the model. There were many but it was all over the place and not used friendly.
that iphone survived really well, its not old tech. You probably can get by using it if they released the software for it like twitter and youtube. The photos look decent enough for me, doesn't have to be 4K HDR WIDE ANGLE or anything.
imagine how long the battery will last given the size of that enclosure.
Yes, we all miss Steve...

They never did, though. They just became another player in the market, essentially replacing Sega. Sony were the ones who shook up the industry, coming from nowhere and quickly starting to dominate it. Nothing would've been different if MS never entered the market, Sony and Nintendo would've been the same as they are now.
How much difference will one see on such small phones with more than ~720p? How much would any barely discernible improvement be worth over decreased battery life?
Let's less in the past 5-6 years we've got ... LTE, 4K, Cameras that can replace a dslr, facial/touch recognition, privacy/security improvements, an App for just about anything... don't forget all the improvements we can't see directly just processing power alone is a huge advance
It’s so little and cute. My first iPhone was the 4s, still have it and it works however slowly because updates slowed it down. I keep it for nostalgia really and I still admire how it feels in the hand. Today Im on an iPhone 8 and find it hard to move up in size.
How many people are going to know him by name? This is nothing unusual, his Youtube name is mentioned in the first sentence. Unless you are talking about a person with widespread name recognition the headline will frequently say "Apple executive", "Microsoft employee", "Star Wars actor", etc. in order to give context to the story. Their position is much more recognizable than themselves as a person.
You can say Youtuber Marques Brownlee and the title would be much more impactful without alienating people who don't know him

Your argument is based on a false definition of innovation. Invention and innovation are not the same thing, that’s why they‘re different words. When apple added an accelerometer to the original iphone they invented nothing, but nonetheless innovated on the user experience

Haha no, he isn’t known for clickbait thumbnails, but he is known for incredibly high quality videography

‘Yes, and touchscreens solved the problem of physical buttons, scrolling and navigations of those flip phones. It simplified the devices and made them as minimal as possible. Foldable phones are a step backwards. Those who are easily swayed by gimmicks are myopic.
“Tiny screen”.
I remember comments in 2007. “That screen is HUGE. Who’s going to carry that around?”

Yeah, those saying that were tech reviewers and bloggers. The same demo now proclaiming that folding screens are the future. Wrong again.
Some countries don't like cameras on devices. Which some services are possible like trade by texting or paying these services are more appealing on smart devices. It's like WAP browser on flip phones and the pre-iPhone BlackBerry devices, etc. It was possible to surf the web but not the most appealing.
For example I can use an iPad to do the similar tasks as a desktop or laptop, however do I really want to as the appeal and convenience of a laptop far exceeds what can be accomplished on any tablet may it be Android or iPadOS.
