All smartphones are "boring" these days. I'm not even really impressed with that tri-fold model from Huawei. They all plateaued 4 cycles ago. The software and services are what is the real "innovation" these days, not the form factor of the device. Having said that, Apple really should have had all the AI features they announced ready to go for launch of the iPhone 16. I'm still keeping my 12 mini another year. It works fine and its form factor trumps stuffing a folding book into my pocket.
