OTOH, people get a new iPhone every year and they are ok with it.

How is that in any way related to a consumer device? This method doesn't reduce physical memory requirements, so still results in huge die area. This isn't a for-end-user thing, probably for decades.

		I don't follow. How is that related? GPUs don't have fixed memory. You don't throw them away when you want to load a new model. NVIDIA will probably give us a new GPU when someone competent in the free market decides they want wheelbarrows full of money. Unfortunately, AMD is entirely, incomprehensibly, incompetent, to the point where I can only assume they're colluding with Nvidia, behind the scenes.
