Comment on Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year?

Because the development of new Smartphone SOC has been very strong, and the new ones really are better in multiple ways. The gains are far from minimal.
Also you can get usable smartphones dirt cheap now, that are both way better and way cheaper than just a few years ago.
The reason they all make better phones is due to this thing we call competition. If all brands except one stopped making better phones, the one that continues will take marketshare from everybody else, and have by far the best profits, because the highest profits are with the high end phones.
