Earlier quoted context omitted.
The way I read it, you did seem to draw a line in the sand - that people should have stopped implementing new features a few years back. My point isn't an attempt at a gotcha - it's a comment that if this is how you really feel, then the only way that companies are going to take any notice is by putting your money where your mouth is and buying the more robust and optimised versions of those things that do the basics…
Don't get hung up on "years". I didn't mean that I wish all feature advance had stopped years ago, I meant that for several years now I have been thinking about perfecting one thing before moving on to the next. Every company is different, every product is different, every user is different. Attempting to speak in absolutes like you are simply doesn't work. As for your suggestion I forgoe a decade of advance in phone…
If that's not what you meant, and instead you were trying to say "I've been thinking for some years now, that a little bit more time was spent on fixing existing features rather than always focusing on new features", then I'd probably agree. Although I would say that most companies are, in reality, already doing this and their doing it to the level that they believe the market is really prepared to pay for.

Indeed it is - but that is far from the message you seemed to be saying in your first comment.
