I was just reading about Google watches moving away from the ARM environment. And it’s like… Who is buying all these watches?? In the phone industry it’s clear that people are buying less phones. I’m almost to year three with my pixel five and I’ll probably replace the battery soon.
If phones slow down, I think it’s only because the apps get filled with more and more bloat to spy on you. Not sure what the end game is but it seems selling new phones to people every eighteen months never made sense.
Most phones are now good enough to use for years, and not much is happening for innovation. Makes sense that only people in the high end market are buying anything.
When the covid hit in 2020, most schools opted for online classes. People from India bought lot of phones as cost is way less compared to laptop or tablet. So the 2020 is peak.
If we have data prior to 2020, we can see the 2020 is an outlier.
Yea, I mean, I'm intending to use my current phone (Samsung A52s) for at least 4 years, if not 5. I just hope Samsung won't be a pain with it over battery replacements.
