I was thinking about dynamic lock screens and Al in phones. They feel something really new specially dynamic lock screen and useful but do you think they are the best tech trends this year or is there something else exciting

Don't care at all about dynamic lock screens. Actively want to keep AI out of my phone, maybe excepting specific apps. Battery tech by itself is nice but you know that stronger batteries will just result in even power hungrier phones, so no real good will come of it. Hinged phones break more and cost more.

NTN (satellite text messaging for when you have no cell coverage) is the main interesting phone tech to appear recently IMHO. Everything else is just little tweaks or outright regressions. I prefer more repairability and openness to more features by now.
