This is something I've been thinking about. Since smartphones became popular, it's generally been the rule that the next generation of hardware would be faster and provide a better experience, and the jump between two generations of hardware was rather large. Computers had the same situation until dual and quad cores became common. Now, an i3 is more than sufficient for the average user and the i7 is for power users.
But I'm wondering if the same thing is happening to smartphones. UI's are able to run well on most decent devices made within the last couple years. Do you think we're getting to a point where low-mid range hardware will be sufficient for most users, and the main group buying high-end smartphones will be heavy power users?
