More of the same: Why I am no more excited about smartphones

Waiting for a friend, I sneaked into a nearby Mother Diary outlet and asked for a cold drink. The shopkeeper asked for my choice of drink, and I responded: “Anything is fine, as long as it’s cold.” The state of smartphones isn’t any different from the fizzy drink market: phones have become so boring that it doesn’t really matter whether you upgrade to a flagship smartphone or stay on a medium-range device.
