TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Same, same, and same again If you wanted to critique the smartphone industry in Western markets, there are no two devices more obvious to use as the basis for your argument. There is something very familiar about the Pixel 11 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro – two phones that are almost the same as their predecessors. Hardware progress has almost ground to a halt, which is both a fair criticism and maybe an admission that there really isn’t much left to do on those ubiquitous products we carry each and every day.
