The talk of stagnation in smartphone innovation is partially muted by the proliferation of artificial intelligence. Everyone is combining AI-powered features and branding them with flashy names like Galaxy AI or Apple Intelligence. Combined with chatbot integration and improvements in the work of the already available voice assistants, this should be a good reason to update your device. Or at least that’s what Apple, Samsung, and every other phone maker hope for. However, we’re still at a stage where these big companies are promising things but haven’t delivered much. That doesn’t stop them from providing access to their latest features only for the owners of their newest and most expensive smartphones. So, if you want to use the AI, you should pay for a new flagship phone. Of course, this approach raises the simple question - would you upgrade your phone to get access to new AI-powered features? Do you feel Apple Intelligence, Galaxy AI, and Google Gemini are worth the hundreds of dollars for the upgrade? Are you buying a new phone anytime soon, and why?
