Agreed - it’s the innovation in application of the technology rather than pure speed that has made mobiles far more interesting than desktops and laptops. Photography is the big ticket with most buyers now - the “how can I make every photo of my baby look like it is taken by a professional to my friends and family when it’s me just tapping once?”
I honestly think Apple could kill off all but professional photography and film with their own versions of photography kit such as Moment lenses, DJI Gimbals and associated AI correction tech to get rid of the shortcomings. Add in more powerful noise reduction in low light that their AI will soon enough bring and your phone camera is a better photographer than you will be without a great camera, training and practice.
The last real innovation in Intel chips in laptops and desktops I can remember that had a significant impact was the accelerated encryption and that’s years ago.
I’m honestly excited by Apple’s new chips going into laptops - Will we get webcam calls that have their image quality improved and background noise filtered by AI for example?
I know that all vendor spending much resources for improving cameras and works well, but I don't care about cameras on smartphone, so I feel smartphones are not evolving well nowadays. I wish they found new frontier other than cameras.
