Not just phones imo, modern computing devices are unnecessarily powerful. Like modern work laptops with 11th gen i5s. They should be able to handle word processing. Computers with a 300mhz CPU can write to text files. But windows still manages to chug with a few office apps open. How they manage to cram that much bloat in astounds me
Completely agree, there's just an incredible amount of software bloat nowadays that adds pretty much nothing of any real value for the user. I recently put Linux on an old 2015 macbook I have and it was shocking to see just how snappy it is compared to macos.
