This is where specialization Google, Facebook and Apple originally excelled.
They built reputations by being great in a narrow domain.
Yahoo was 16 different things. Google had a search bar.
Myspace had music and videos, bells and whistles. Facebook had a single feed of your friends from college.
Samsung has phones that flip, fold, and expand to twice the size. Their flagship phone has five different cameras on the back.
Google’s Pixel 7 had two.
Apple releases features 10 years after Android does, but they tune them quality.
Apple's iPhone 12, 13, and 14 are almost carbon copies of the iPhone 4.
