I am pretty sure a phone from 10 years ago could do about same shit as my current one as long as it still had working battery, supported OS and non bloated shittified apps. Pretty much the only thing that needs better specs are more modern games, but I don't really like to play games on my phone anyway (except old-school RPG's and emulated games I guess).

Oddly enough, they've recently developed something that would allow your dog to live longer. That's why they've moved on to putting AI in everything.

As long as people are more willing to pay large amounts of money to get a new smartphone as a status symbol than they pay to extend their pets lives, that's not going to happen.
