We've already made so many phones that can do all of the exact same things over the last 10 or so years. I think if we just stopped making them for a while and simply worked on updating all of those old phones, we might actually be better off.
"But shareholders expect a new phone every year..."
I agree, the changes year after year are so minor at this point that a 2 year cycle is enough. Just look at the S26 that Samsung just announced, they are rightly getting criticised for how little they changed. Heck, they have been using the same image sensors for like 4 years now.
