I guess this has been going on for some time and not only on iPhone but also Android.

I'm not liking the way things are going with mobile. Tracking, ads and now bloody AI everywhere.

I don't think anyone wants AI enhanced photos and all that crap.

I was looking at phone shops the other day, and all you can buy (mainstream) is Apple and Samsung. Different shops stock a variety of other brands, such as Sony (what's left of it) Motorola and Xiaomi here and there.

There is no variation, everything looks the same and they're not being challenged. Mobile is now officially boring.

We need a new platform again to challenge the status quo. It was a real shame that Microsoft messed up Windows phone. WP8 was the best operating system in my opinion. Unfortunately no support from developers killed it (and later by Microsoft messing it up with Windows 10)...
