Not too surprised, the iPhone 14 buzz is already strong. SE will probably pick up once that's released and everyone realizes they don't really need to drop $1,500 on their phone for it to do ... the exact same things their current phone does. But right now I think a lot of people that would otherwise have got an SE (or will eventually get one) are just waiting to see what the 14 brings - just in case it breaks the mold.

I really am at a loss for next generation new phone features... what are they going to do. Introduce a high bandwidth headphone jack for audiophiles with discreet amplifiers? Integrated smart glass interface with an iEye headband you wear to allow seemless AR integration. Wireless charging that works In a room without causing other interference... ummm.

Ok I got nothing else.

Considering how incrementally these companies like to roll things out it sounds like you may have just detailed the next 3 or 4 gens.

Outside of Android, where you have a few products that break the mold - in Apple
World, the X was the last mold-breaking product.

Every single phone since is either an upgrade from the 8 or the X - just better processor, better battery life, minor improvement in the screen and better camera. Almost all of the significant advances have been directly due to the camera.
