I think you're wrong. They stopped innovating with Kitkat (4.4). And btw, the whole mobile GUI evolution is stolen from custom ROMs.
my initial plan was to say the smartphone peaked much earlier, but i decided to say the last good release was as late as i could, in good conscience. i wanted avoid any potential sensationalism in my already somewhat sensationalist thesis (one that i do actually believe it, but i know i could come across sensational)
so i threw myself, a tech-y, but somewhat unprincipled until 2023 about specifics, person. when was the last time i found my phone useful and not burdensome? 2019. when was the last time i remember feeling like my phone was improving? 2017
