Many try, few succeed. Give it a shot.

but I wonder what you would have said about smartphone capabilities 20 years ago. My guess your words would have been verbatim.

2002? Well some smartphones already had 0.3 mpx cameras since 2003, not sure if there were any 2 years before. Anyway, these phones(mostly symbian based, like Nokka 6600, 6230(S40), Sony Ericsson P900 were already amazing at that time, many people were willing to spend lots of money to get then. Interesting to note that these early smartphones were in some ways superior to an iphone made in 2021, with a nokia 6600 for example you can take a picture or voice memo and send it via bluetooth, last i heard iphones can't even do that.

To think there are limitations is shortsighted. Technology defies limitations and will continue to amaze us in the future.

Limitations to what? Who said limitations? The only drawbacks are marketing departments and bosses unwilling to release quality products onto the market, occasionally hurting their own profits in the process.
