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

  they wanted answers about phone design practices, not cheaper phones.

    I absolutely answer the questions, what’s your problem?
    What part of the question is not answered in my reply?

    Am I not free to ad my opinion too?

      I have not found an answer to this part:

      I realized I just quoted the first 3 paragraphs of the post, so lets stay at the clarification.

      And to clarify what I don’t understand: each year flagship phone’s performance don’t seem to increase significantly. Regarding real world performance, not benchmarks.
      That’s why the question is why don’t they keep the previous chipset until more meaningful gains. As OP suggested, they could either lower the price, or have more profit. Users would not feel the difference, and there’s plenty of other things the manufacturer can improve or experiment with.

      If the concern is that people would say “ah it’s the same chipset!” and they wouldnt buy it, then the manufacturer could just replace that with another one that has roughly the same cost and performance.
