    hardware and software are extremely mature

    And that’s a good thing, perhaps except for tinkering purposes. I have to rely on my phone for several things throughout the day, sometimes more than I’d like to, so the last thing I need is bugs introduced just for the sake of changing things.

      The one thing I’m continually annoyed about though is battery management.

      Why, in this day and age, do we not have a smartphone that can last on a single charge for a week? Instead, after a year or two of use, the devices with a glued in battery can barely last 8 hours on a charge.

      Doesn’t seem all that smart.

      I agree. It also means that you can spend $300-$400 on a smartphone and it does everything without lag and at a high quality level. What’s more, you can use it for 3-4 years.

      There are some niche use cases like specialist smartphone photography and high demand gaming where you might need a flagship, but IMO a relatively small part of the market.
