Are we running out of phone innovations?

Some people have that perception, but I believe there's always room for new ideas.

>>106325225 (OP)
Disgusting photograph. Delete thread.

Yes, and that's a good thing.
I was just thinking yesterday, I don't even know what version my phone is anymore, and I'm not aware what the current version is, and I don't recognize any difference in use or features in my phone since about 2015.

>>106325225 (OP)
Not really. They used to dish out new features at the rate of 96mph but now they slowed them down.

>>106325325
No, but please please please stick around. I'm making an edit as we speak.

Yes, remove this nigger from my white board.

>innovations?

Genuinely. when was the last time there was an actual innovation? It's all just refreshes with new specs and updated OS.

>>106325225 (OP)
digusting

>>106325415
In phones, or just anything?
Because no, I can't think of any in either.

sorta been nostalgic for the late 2000s/early 2010s era of phones when every few months something new and exciting was happening. now you can easily go 5+ years on a phone as long as you don't break it and the battery holds up

Wtf? Entry level phones are 800 USD now?

>>106325493
lol.

>>106325493
Rolling on the floor laughing.

>>106325493
The average empty stare consumer

There is no point in paying more than $700 for an Android phone, period.
Even with an iPhone it's only a status symbol, but at least it's a status symbol.
The only thing a $1200 Android phone signals is poor impulse control.

>>106325836
Don't tell me what to buy negrino!

>>106325836
I just use a cheap-ish Motorola phone,never really saw the point in most overpriced phones,sure they have better specs,but what good are those specs when I won't use them?

>>106325225 (OP)
there’s theoretical room for innovations.
for example if the screens on flip phones could be made nearly as durable as the screens on normal phones I think we would see a huge shift in the phone market to almost all flip phones.
just because nobody has really thought of anything in 10 years doesn’t mean it won't be revolutionized at some point.

>no innovation
>charge you for more
is this how modern tech works?

>>106325225 (OP)
Like 99% of people don't need a phone with more processing power than a CMF Phone 1.

>Decent camera
>Can run gachaslop/roblox type shit
>No slowdown or lag watching videos or scrolling apps and shit
It costs £180/$230 so I don't know why anyone pays or worse, pays huge sums monthly for other phones.
I could see a reason maybe 5-10 years ago when cheaper third party phones had drawbacks or couldn't do gaming, lacked newer wireless protocols etc etc but they're pretty fucking strong now and don't actually feel cheap or lack anything you really need.

>>106326188
Brand culture I assume
People care too much about the opinions of irrelevant strangers over their own common sense

>>106326188
Lately, I have been feeling the need for a better telephoto camera than the one on my S20FE. Went to a concert recently and all my zoomed videos look like noisy garbage. Good periscope cameras are attached to $700+ phones only unfortunately. Its a shame because I'd rarely use the rest of the phone attached to it beyond scrolling, so that processing power is wasted on me.

>>106325298
He wasn't wrong though

>>106325225 (OP)
Folding screens has been the only major change to the smart phone since they added multiple cameras.

>>106325225 (OP)
I wish that the new Pixel Fold would finally get a pressure sensitive pen. I'd probably pony up for one if it did as I'd like to draw with it. Maybe with the Fold 11.

>>106327906
That's not even innovative. Flip phones were a huge deal in the 2000s before iPhone. The book style fold is new but at that point, get a mini tablet.

I just want something I can hold comfortably with my left hand while it plays retro milf porn.

>>106328506
Folding touch screens? Bullshit

>>106327842
On the contrary he was very wrong

the newest and most innovative thing you can do with phones is not having one

>>106329054
>is not having one
w...what??
Not having a ph--
i...
i can't believe it
i can't even conceptualize it
how can... you can't...
YOU CAN'T NOT HAVE A PHONE
IT ISN'T POSSIBLE.

>>106325225 (OP)
yeah, about a decade and a half ago

Maybe phones are now good enough.

>>106329101
>Maybe phones are now good enough.
NO!!!
NO NO NO NO!!!
PLEASE YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND PHONES ARE THE FUTURE OF TOMORROW!! THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO INNOVATE. GOD PLEASE DON'T SAY THIS.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT RISK IF YOU BECOME COMPLACENT. PLEASE BUY. BUY. BYE!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's going to 0 isn't it... iPhone... Android... Former Enemies.... Must become friends.... Extend an olive branch. Please don't let this be the end... Oh god I think I'm gonna puke.... holy shit....

>>106325427
In phones, wireless charging is the biggest "recent" innovation I can think of. Otherwise it's all incremental stuff.
Wouldn't even count folding phones to be honest. We had those before, and folding a screen and having a permanent crease disqualifies it from being innovative in my book.

>>106329168
>Wouldn't even count folding phones to be honest.
Please.... stop....

I think smartphones stopped being useful about ten years ago. All I use my phone for is to make calls, browse the internet, and check the weather. "Apps" were a retarded concept.

>>106329170
Make me

>>106329184
Don't FUCKING bait me bro. I'm so fucking pissed right now.

Folding phones are not innovative because they don't solve anything and don't offer true functionality, despite the extra screen real estate.
Multitasking sucks, you're limited to two tasks
The crease
Dirt inevitably getting into the hinge
Trades width of the screen for undesired thickness
Costs more than a small laptop
A small laptop outdoes the folding phone in just about every measurement
Montreal demand for them, just get a phone, tablet, or laptop depending on your needs

I could go on

>>106325225 (OP)
we ran out of phone innovations like 10 years ago nigger

>>106325385
Wasn't he caught going like 200 mph in a school zone with his nig'd out supercar?

>>106329338
That never happened.

>>106325225 (OP)
Yes. We're running out of everything phones used to have 10 years ago.

You guys don't have kids who will be ostracized by their high school peers and who will disown you if you don't buy iPhones for them to fit in?

You have failed your children.

>>106329338
>>106329358
Lmao. Someone managed to clip that part from his now deleted video.
See >>106325368 how it's actually just 96mph but still.

>>106327906
> foldable screen
Incredibly fragile crap.
They reached rock bottom and started to dig.

>>106330112
We’re in the negatives now.
Surveillance, lower battery capacity, non-removable battery, no headphone jack
(The ipod started it all by coming to my house in a camisole)

>>106330461
Gotta buy your own charger too

>>106330439
I went into a phone store and put my finger nail between the screen and the ear-speaker hole and the screen instantly developed a small crack.
Then I inconspicuously put the phone back and high-tailed out of there.

>>106330488
Even with the OG iPhone you had USB A ports everywhere for charging.

>>106325225 (OP)
>Are we running out of phone innovations?
ever since first iphone

>>106325225 (OP)
Wasn't this guy picking his nose a few minutes ago?
What happened?

i bought the pixel 8 pro new. i never bought a phone new before and about a month later i feel like it's the dumbest goyim financial decisions i ever made in my life. not sure how i fell for it desu

>>106330568
They deleted my post :^(

>>106330568
Right here.
Looks like they also deleted every single post responding to this one.
Why?
Is this thread some kind of advertisement and the advertisers weren't happy with this specific response for some reason, so they said to delete it?
Or was it just some triggered mod?

>>106330571
>He doesn't save 60% of the cost by buying like-new used

>>106330590
It was such an innocent edit too, and THIS is what they got all butthurt over? Lmao.

>>106330601
its what i usually do. idk why i bought it new. a month later since the price go down to half of what i paid for it made me feel so fucking stupid

>>106325225 (OP)
yes. high end phones are just status symbols.

i got a samsung a15 for $100 and its better than my pixel 3 from a few years back.

If your kids friends give a shit about what phone they have they're going to a shitty highschool and will probably end up in a meme no name community college

I love black people!

>>106329168
Fingerprint unlocks are pretty convenient.
I like the pixels call screening and hold/navigation features for calls.


I can't think of anything else. Lol.
We have more feature loss than anything.

Looks like a big upgrade.

>>106331519
This doesnt matter ultimately because no sane adult plays games on their phone

Why is the Pixel 9 series still being sold for the same price?

>>106331530
I mean if you have pixel 7, 8, 9 then you don't have to "upgrade". But I think this is perfect time for me to upgrade as an iphone 11 user. Although I still have a year worth of security updates left. Perhaps I should wait for pixel 11. hmmm

I am so sick of hearing about phones.

>>106331547
If you understand who and what the Pixel is for, yes. I think even the latest one is barely more powerful than an iPhone 12. If you care about stock Android, Google's slop, being able to root it, the camera, etc. you'll like it a lot. Otherwise, if you're just going to "use" it then you'll probably be worse off unless you REALLY love Google's ecosystem.

>>106331584
You're right. There is really not a lot to look for on new phones these days. I only care about security updates. I figured I can slap a lineageOS ROM on pixel after they retire it, unlike iphones where there are no option.
