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.
Unfortunately, Fairphone is not available in my country. I’d buy it in a heartbeat if it was :(
I just looked. Do they not ship to the U.S.?
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.
