Hey I am on Medial • 3d
Agreed that this by no means is "innovation" but you will have to look at it with the perspective of the tech giant. Consumer tech (esp. mobile phones) have hit a plateau. There is not much these companies can really change anymore, the time of 2-3x improvements in processing speeds/screen ratios/battery is gone. Most companies are trying to hide this problem by getting on the AI hype train. AI is alright, but I don't see any groundbreaking AI features that google/samsung have been able to produce (that people are using regularly). Apple is sticking to its age old stratergy of letting other companies beta test a new tech, polish it and sell as a disruptive idea. Where apple went wrong was to announce "Apple-intelligence" last year. Whatever reason they had (pressure from investors to get on the AI bandwagon), it was a wrong(& misleading) step. You must have seen the recent ultra-thin phone launched by samsung.(Leaks suggest apple is trying to do the same) Nobody asked for it but here we are. This is all a play to hide the stagnation of consumer tech.
