Camera Phone Progress
Harry McCracken:
In 2005, I visited Universal Studios Orlando and took photos with
my Treo smartphone. Last week, I went to Universal Studios
Hollywood and took them with my iPhone 14. See if you can see tell
which photo is which.
One of tech’s truisms that has no exceptions: We overestimate how much progress we can make in a year, and underestimate how much we can make in a decade.
