It feels like every few months there’s a new tech “revolution” being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

    I feel the same. I think they got to a point where there’s nothing else left to improve, no interesting features to add.

    The only feature I am really looking forward to is the return of removable batteries.

      Answering from my Fairphone 3 & its brand new battery 😎

      The improvement on cameras is nice though, but I think it’s been nice enough for anyone for a while and people are just comparing color balance now.

      Phones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –

      At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already made a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.

      So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn’t clean and the pic quality is below average.

      So hard to make a 🔋 that’s 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it’ll succeed in mass production.
