It’s interesting you claim “they certainly haven’t had a user noticeable change for the last six years”, and then cite a feature addition “on android” which was implemented on the iPhone 13.
Comment on Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2
WagesOf@artemis.camp 1 year agoYou're on apple, they certainly haven't had a user noticeable change for the last 6 years.
For me on android the last "must have" was variable refresh up to 120hz. I'll probably even do a battery upgrade on my s21 when it can't last a full day rather than hit an s25.
The only blocker I've hit with is yuzu on android, which kind of just doesn't work at all still.

Okay. Trying picking up a iPhone X (releases Sep 2017) vs iPhone 14 Pro and see the difference. There are a lot of quality of life improvements that make a noticeable user difference.
I can confidently say everyone of these features has improved my user experience. None of them by their self are earth shattering, but taken as a whole, the constant iterative improvements have amounted to quite a lot.

As someone who just had an Galaxy S7 or something for 6.5 years this all sounds way overkill. I’d probably disable everything possible to get even more battery life out of it.
If someone uses this phone for gaming or working or for documenting/photographing a trip or something, then its maybe worth it but for everyday use its just overkill imo

Still using an iPhone X abs the only things in your list that interest me are faster charging and LiDAR. But nothing to do with portraits; I want it for 3D scanning objects for CAD models for 3D printing. But I’d use it maybe a few times a year.

as someone with an XR the only thing on that list maybe the camera and sat coms, but I have a DSLR and InReach device
