It feels like every few months there’s a new tech “revolution” being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Passkeys. They’ll probably improve eventually but I feel like right now it’s a mess.
On Android you are forced to use the default implementation, only in 14 and above can you use password managers for them.
On desktop it’s somewhat less messy but you can use the system storage or a password manager extension. Some sites only let you use them for 2FA, some full login, some can’t be put in a password manager from my experience and so on.
Just a mess right now.
I feel like both new cars and phones have been overhyped for a while now.
Ai is simultaneously over and under hyped depending on context.
I think the phone industry is trying very hard to look interesting but it’s been a while since anybody cared? Or is it really just me?
I feel the same. I think they got to a point where there’s nothing else left to improve, no interesting features to add.
The only feature I am really looking forward to is the return of removable batteries.
Phones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –
At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already designed a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.
So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn’t clean and the pic quality is below average.
So hard to make a 🔋 that’s 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it’ll succeed in mass production.
