Just thinking back to the iPhone 6 which is 10 years old this year. I’m trying to work out if there are any features people use that weren’t available 10 years ago?

My dad still uses my old iPhone 6, and it really highlighted for me that innovation has stagnated in the last 10 years, unless I’m missing something.

my 'feature' phone can act as a mobile hotspot and connect to wifi networks (it does have a mobile browser and email client), but i have never used it for anything other than taking and making voice calls (don't even use sms).

it's some cheap no-name pos from verizon. i wouldn't wish it on anyone (not verizon, either, for that matter).

it's getting replaced, hopefully tomorrow. it's the first phone i've never dropped.. not even once. and it's cracked, literally in pieces, and the hinge basically disintegrated. shortest time a phone has lasted me (by far); barely a year and a half. my previous ones all went 5+ years each.
