Even camera improvements are overblown. My usage and photo quality did not improve much since ~iPhone 6. Taking decent travel photos, selfies, etc - I was happy with the results 10 years ago.

Technically, I understand the difference in the technology, I just don't know who needs that vs who gets excited about new features for a brief moment.

I would love to take a photo using my smartphone that doesn't look pixelated, blurry and or over-processed. Maybe asking too much considering smartphone sensors can't compete with DSLRs in some situations, but I'm always baffled with how dark and desaturated some of my photos turn out on my smartphone, as well.

Me too! If anything, iPhone photos became more over-processed over the last decade.

I think some people do genuinely care about the camera improvements; personally anything I’ve used from the iPhone 7 on has been _fine_, but I’m not a demanding camera-user.

These days, manufacturers seem to focus on more niche improvements (like for mobile gamers)
