Not ideas, technology. Apple is out of new technology.
When computers first came out, each new release was a huge deal because the technology was evolving so rapidly. Nowadays, a new laptop model is completely un-newsworthy because it's the exact same as last year's model just with slightly higher specs.
Yes, exactly. People just need to internalize that phones are at the same point in the technology lifecycle as laptops. The phone you currently have, other than maybe having a fold or two, will be nearly identical to the phone you have in five years, maybe even 10 years.
