Yep, agreed 100%. I think a lot of the major advances in the last decade have been more subtle like the rise of ML use for formerly hard problems.
I don’t think if I went back in time 10 years & gave myself an iPad Pro that I’d be blown away by the progress. I think I’d say the hardware is nice but be shocked that that’s all the progress the software had made. Compare that to showing devices from 2010 to people in 2000.

The thing is, I don’t think it's because we reached a “natural” plateau in these areas. Sometimes you really fully exercise the capabilities of a technology or fully saturate the market. Not the case here in my opinion. I think a bunch of (bad?) business decisions led to this.

I remember the first time I used an iPod touch it seemed like magic! I haven't really felt that since. Maybe the closest thing is airpods, but that's probably just because they're surprisingly convenient.

But if you showed 1990s devices to people in 1980 they wouldn't be blown away either. Still keyboards and CRT screens, smaller discs, bigger drives, but no revolution. Technology does not advance uniformly, that's just the way it is.

Or rather: our reception of technology is not uniform. We celebrate revolutionary touch screens, but aren't tiny LTE modems and audio/video codecs just as big a reason for the advance of smartphones? What about the low power elements we use? Revolutionary!

My iPad pro has become just a video machine attached to my treadmill
