A lot of these new software features are enabled by better hardware. Especially AI features, which can require quite specialized and powerful processors. On-device LLMs are the next frontier in personal assistant software, and that can only be enabled by better hardware.
Even the image processing for high resolution images can benefit from better hardware. Modern smartphones are heavily dependent on image processing to improve camera quality. Without the right hardware, performance and energy efficiency could be unacceptable.
