It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

I feel like both new cars and phones have been overhyped for a while now.

Ai is simultaneously over and under hyped depending on context.

I think the phone industry is trying very hard to look interesting but it's been a while since anybody cared? Or is it really just me?

I feel the same. I think they got to a point where there's nothing else left to improve, no interesting features to add.

The only feature I am really looking forward to is the return of removable batteries.

Answering from my Fairphone 3 & its brand new battery 😎

The improvement on cameras is nice though, but I think it's been nice enough for anyone for a while and people are just comparing color balance now.

Unfortunately, Fairphone is not available in my country. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was :(

I just looked. Do they not ship to the U.S.?
