It’s been somewhat fascinating to me to see how tech companies have managed to continue that over the years. It was always inevitable that phones were going to plateau in power increases the same way that PCs did back in the 2000s. Since then most people have been content keeping their computer for 6 to 10 years, but the same has not been true for phones. Somehow, through software trickery and planned obsolescence tech companies have managed to convince people that their phones are worthless at two years old. It makes me a little worried for our ARM based computing future though, I definitely see at least one section of the tech community that really really wants the future of PCs to look a lot like phones and tablets do now.
