Barring big-picture factors like the struggling global economy amid the ongoing pandemic as well as our increased mindfulness over the environment, I think this trend is persisting for a confluence of reasons.
Phones today are receiving software, and therefore security, updates for longer. For instance, 's iPhone 6S is compatible with iOS 15 , potentially dampening desires for a bi-yearly upgrade. In addition to all this, smartphone innovation has hit a plateau, and the industry bears the hallmarks of one that's maturing: slowing smartphone sales growth along with the slower evolution of what we need, what we want and so forth. There are no big surprises here: Today's phones are getting more nice-to-have refinements rather than the awe-inspiring innovation seen just three or four years ago.

Up until a couple of years ago, smartphone manufacturers had us sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next design refresh. But that's not as much the case anymore. With the iPhone 12 series, 5G was probably its buzziest feature -- one that understandably ended up triggering an upgrade supercycle. Apple's proprietary technology, allowing you to magnetically snap on attachments , was first introduced some 15 years ago with the first-gen MacBook Pro.
It was then reintroduced for the iPhone When you look at what changed from the iPhone 11, you'll see the usual suspects on your list: 5G, OLED screen, new design. Admittedly there are a few more things you won't see everywhere, such as MagSafe and the Ceramic Shield, but nothing extra-special to truly write home about. Personally, the last time I was blown away by an iPhone reveal was back in when Apple introduced the iPhone X, which set new design standards for the modern-day iPhone.
The iPhone X did away with the physical home button and chunky bezels of its predecessors and made way for a sleek, futuristic device that inspired the iPhone 12 family. Also, for the first time with Apple, we were able to unlock an iPhone with Face ID, Apple's facial recognition technology. Looking at the iPhone 13, the narrative sounds familiar.
We knew it wouldn't get a major technical upgrade though that didn't stop us from wishing. While we appreciate the upgrades Apple did give the phone a smaller notch, a larger battery and a faster screen refresh rate , the iPhone 13 is "not radically different," according to CNET's Patrick Holland.
Plus a number of these new iPhone features, like the Hz screen, currently exist on Android phones, reinforcing the notion of a decreasing technological gap in the smartphone landscape. Apple itself says the life-cycle of a typical iPhone is now three years. So the company times its new releases accordingly: We get a major redesign every three years, not two, with more minor updates in between.
Look no further than the glitziest non-Apple flagship launch of this year for clues: Samsung's Galaxy S21 family. Here the standout change wasn't made to the hardware or software, but perhaps to its least interesting feature: its price tag. Apart from that, major differences between the S21 and last year's S20 were mostly incremental.
I remember having to pore over the specs sheet to spot salient differences as I covered Samsung's virtual Unpacked event. Refinements were made to the usual suspects, including the processor, software and 5G. If you'd rather not provide that in an app, Methods 1 and 3 don't require it. Use Apple's "Apple Store" app. Method 3. Recall that your User ID is your mobile number.
