    “But shareholders expect a new phone every year…”

    I agree, the changes year after year are so minor at this point that a 2 year cycle is enough. Just look at the S26 that Samsung just announced, they are rightly getting criticised for how little they changed. Heck, they have been using the same image sensors for like 4 years now.

      But at least it costs a fortune!

      If everything that changes is the NPU, I’m not sure why I should buy it. I don’t give a crap about AI features. As long as my battery holds, I’m fine.
