I recently profiled a page on a Pixel 2 (released in 2017), and an Alcatel 1x (released in 2018). Hardware gets better, sure. Ballooning bandwidth and storage have fostered complacency that we can do without. The two devices represent very different ends of the spectrum. It makes sense. Performance is conservation.

I also wrote about these topics in detail for my recent [Systems Performance 2nd Edition] book.
