>Yeah, because better CPU, GPU, camera(s), and such are not innovative enough...

They're not. They're expected.

>Yeah, for those of us using our phone on the shower it will be a god-send. Waterproof! Such innovation!

Right...

Innovation != surprise. If that was the case, the 1000x improvements we got by Moore's law would not count as innovation (except maybe when we completely change CPU architectures, e.g. from CISC to RISC etc).

And the kind of work, research and investment in getting new and improved cpus, gpus, cameras is hardly trivial.

If anything, the innovations mentioned (wireless charging, waterproof case) are both existing and trivial to adopt (if one wanted).
