There is this new AI features, but I feel there was also a bigger reason to upgrade that was almost completely ignored.

A huge set of media companies have shifted to using AV1 and these older devices are gonna get hammered for battery.

I was planning on upgrading anyway just to get hardware AV1 decode given youtube music/youtube are one of my most frequent apps.

Surprised there wasn't more furore when Google mandated that shift.

Such as? Most YouTube videos I am watching are still VP9 at 1080p/1440p, and there's no reason to watch 4K on phones (you still can, but lower battery life is your own choice in that case).
