Much more expensive? They’re the same price they’ve been for the last 5 generations.
And let’s be frank, no one is really innovating right now. Every phone is a brick, and some fold. But nothing about how we interact with our phones has significantly changed in at least 5 years. And even the change from fingerprint as the primary biometric to face is relatively small.
Introducing double tap to the Watch is the most significant innovation in a flagship device that I’ve seen in a hot minute. But phones are reaching their limit for ways to interact due to technological limitations. Hell, I’m not even seeing sci-fi showing real imaginative ways to interact with tech anymore, just different form factors for existing technology. What else is there to really do to change how we interact with our devices at this point?
