Camera and screen quality are often what the new generation of a phone is sold on.
For everything else, yeah if you're not watching videos or gaming then you probably don't need a top-end model.
Whenever I see this fact, I don't doubt it, but it reminds me of how weird and out of touch I am. The Camera is probably one of my least used phone feature. My lens got a crack across it a few years ago and I have no idea how long I went before even noticing it. It's never even occurred to me to care about how "good" my phone's cameras are. For those rare times I need to take a picture of something, my 8 year old phone camera is good enough. I really don't feel I need more pixels.
It's always so strange to learn how important that feature is to normal people.
"Apps" should be using the array of sensors to be more than displays of simple information AOL could have done if they had really good marketing
AOL had great marketing, just not pointed at consumers, it pointed it at ad providers. The free disk thing ...
That's not really "little". Back in the day computers could only do a fraction of this. Today you have it all in your pocket
