like a sort of breakthrough new technology that has made its way into phones in a really long time.

We haven't had it in laptops either.

We've just been on this sort of steady march of progress for a long time.

And so there's no forcing function for everybody to say, well, OK, we have to blow up the system anyway.

Let's tear this whole thing down and start over.

What you have is you could say we want to spend an enormous amount of money to build

try and have a new idea about the iPhone, the most successful product ever, or you could just keep making better iPhones.

And is that the boring choice?

Is it not the choice I wish they would make?

Of course.

But it is the obvious choice, and it is the choice almost everybody makes.

So if you want more exciting gadgets, if you want more gadgets...

root for new technology, root for new displays, root for some breakthrough new input device like Apple always talks about.

What is the thing after the touchscreen?

If we figure that out, I guarantee you we are set for a whole new kind of device category that will make all of this feel very fun again.

Anyway, those are all my thoughts.

That's what I've been talking about for a long time.

I hope that helps.

If you have any other ideas, if you have other things that I've missed, or if you think there is a bunch of like fascinating new idea innovation happening in these spaces right now, tell me all about it.

I want to hear about it.
