I remember when new iPhone releases would make headlines and people would crowd around computers to watch the live announcements. I remember sneaking out of work early once so I could be home in time to watch it with my housemates. Nowadays they’re so boring they barely get mentioned.
That's a good thing, it's a sign that smartphones as a technology have matured.
But it’s also boring. Innovation is fun.
Maybe we will see that kind of innovation in the VR space if the Apple headset really becomes the next big thing, but I have my doubts.
Boring is good on a device that you use for anything critical. Boring is also good to reduce e-waste.
Iterative innovation also has a higher probability of being a net positive than breaking changes.
