I don’t know what people are expecting anymore, phones are a mature market. Short of something like foldables (which don’t seem to be catching on) they’re going to be iterative updates. Look at TVs and computers. Years of big advancements and then they’re iterative.
Also the NY Post is an absolutely terrible publication to link to.
(almost) fully agree. However, I think people are just waiting for the next "game changer" since it's been quite long since the "smartphone" was launched... and as you say, foldables obviolsy didn't fill that desire. Computers, on the other hand, has seen some quite big improvements lately. Mainly with small, energy efficient chips (like the m1, m2...) so there is hope for a not so stagnant market with only marginal gains.
