I do less now with phones or at least expect less, since I don't do gaming on them. Just basic messaging, emails, and basic apps.
Its one of the devices where specs have mattered less and less where before upgrades were desired because just running the OS felt sluggish.
Specs mattering less is not the same as having the same specs.
If all someone is doing for instance on a mac is browsing the web and emails and some light program use they aren't going to notice the difference going from a m1 mac to a m4 mac.
Same with phones. These days unless somone is using resource hungry applications only noticeable area is battery, and its usually battery life that pushes people to upgrade these days.
Phones aren't exactly consoles either pointing to how amazing the graphics are compared to the past gen. People just use the same apps like tiktok or whatever on whatever phone they picked up and experience is pretty much the same. Phones aren't that novel anymore.
None of this has anything to do with them supposedly having the same specs.
