just to touch on the discussion from the last page, I think phone innovation has definitely stagnated. It's not just Apple. Apple just gets much more press and does bigger events, and they're under more of a microscope I find. The entire industry has stagnated though. There's folding phones, which don't appeal to me at all, and then wearables, which I think is where things will be moving to. I haven't had an Apple Watch and I don't know if it's already possible, but I think the idea is to be able to do everything (or mostly everything) you can do on a phone on your wrist eventually and have less use for your phone rather than the two being tied together.
At this point the phones are just incremental upgrades, with focus on speed and cameras. People at this point will already have their preference on iOS or Android and won't really see the appeal of flipping, especially those tied into Apple's ecosystem.
now I'm in the market for a watch, but I kind of just want it for a fitness tracker kind of thing. I feel like the Fitbit would appeal to what I want much more than a complete Apple Watch, but again, I don't know much about the watches and have been mostly blind to them, so I'm not sure. I know the series 5 is way more pricey than I thought, though.
