  are there any great innovations left

  Honestly, this is such a weird take because, yes. Of course there are innovations left, you just cannot think of them yourself now because then they obviously would not be innovative but rather same old same old. Now the rate of new innovations probably did slow down a lot, I agrew with that, so its harder to find something that is innovative in this space.

  Of course, they’re just being done on Android until Apple takes them on later and markets them as their innovations.

  Foldables are already a thing and the next iPhone will likely be their version of it.

  They sure made USB3 look like a breakthrough innovation, though…

  I’ve commented this elsewhere in this thread:

  All accessory vendors are going “woah, revolutionary! Apple is now USB-C”, but Apple itself isn’t being too pushy about it. They’re more focused on the titanium shell, better cams and action button.

  I dislike Apple, but I think it’s mostly vendors and reviewers that highlight the connector (both protocol and form), Apple isn’t doing it.

  I think innovations in phones are going to go the other direction honestly. 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 remarking 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.”

  I am holding out for rollables! There still so many things that can be done. Satellite coms and holographic displays are my dreams.

    Imagine a cell device with a whole suite of radio tools for amateur operators and professional ones. Im waiting for the FTC to open up some fun bands for us to play with as they open up while consumers etc switch to the newer ones.

    i just don’t see holographic displays being all that great to interact with. they might look pretty, but what’s the advantage over what we have now?
