Yep, you're old and jaded. I can relate. iPhones and almost all of their features are old news and they're mostly pushing iterative updates or advanced features most people don't have a use for yet (satellite connectivity).

Still fantastic technology no doubt, but certainly not the wow of 10 years ago.

Then don’t upgrade? I don’t understand the outrage. So the new iPhone isn’t that exciting to you, so what?

I don’t think it’s outrage or anything, just another way to feel about things

I don’t read it as outrage but rather lamenting how developments used to feel more fun and exciting when the phones were new (whether buying them or not).

Besides getting jaded, this feeling is maybe the case with any maturing technology. PC developments in the 90s were crazy year to year, and now I don’t bother to follow the scene.
