Phones would most likely give up ports before than. Phones like the Meizu Zero already made a portless phone in 2017. Qi2 Wireless charging with magsafe gives us a glimpse of portless phones already.

The 980 Pro isn't even the best SSD afaik. This just shows you how powerful Samsung as a brand name is.
Will we see fake Samsung fridges next?

Reply to iPhone 16 Pro Still on Track to Feature Under-Display Face ID, Followed By Under-Display Selfie Camera in 2026 by chrisdh79
I would assume under display cameras would need to be really good for them to consider putting it on their flagships. The only phones that really do it are the Samsung galaxy fold line and the ZTE Axon ultra line. Both of which have under display cameras that are barely passable for a video call.
If the tech doesn't improve I find it hard to see why apple would switch.

People don't understand that while they said they did not update their phones OS from Android 10, Android 13 is currently out.

These photos make it look a lot better than what we saw with earlier renders. Though the 11 is still pretty ugly overall.
What is the point of OnePlus anymore though after being so oppo-fied?

A lot of r/Android and r/Googlepixel fans will love the idea of a smaller phone.
Though it's very interesting to see how Google is trying mimic Apple specifically.

TBF the iPhone 14 Pro is only slightly more expensive than the pixel 7 Pro.
And the base 14 isn't that much more expensive than the base pixel 7
Except Google is doing deals/trade ins that is.

As a person who regularly follows phone news I agree with u/Evcher , traditional slab smartphones have hit a plateau and will probably not progress further outside of processor, camera and battery improvements on a more marginal basis.
Foldable phones do seem like they are improving and a lot of manufacturers are starting to make them. This will most likely bring down the price as we have started to see with brands like Techno releasing a cheaper galaxy fold style phone. We may see companies release trifolds once foldables get thinner.
Outside of that unless technology improves massively I don't think we will ever see wearable ar glasses, Google glass just failed again. Nor do we have anywhere near the technology or the political will to start putting chips in people's brains. Overall I expect to see more marginal updates year over year that add up in the long run.
