Nah the hardware is still crap. CPU performance that's genuinely like two generations behind being sold as a flagship somehow.
I always wonder what people who say things like this are doing with their phones.
Two generations of phones ago, these performance parameters were fine. What software has come out on Android phones since then that's made that performance level unacceptable?
Is two generations ago before 2020? Everything is 100% more expensive than pre-2020 prices.
Eating out is there. Power Tools are there. Land is beyond that and Housing has been there for 6 years now.
I'm not surprised. The March of inflation has been a wreckening this decade.
