The flip side of the vanishing jack: some once-premium features are now near-universal. We tracked the share of smartphones in our catalogue shipping each one, by launch year. Based on 116 smartphones with a known release date across 2021–2026. (Figures reflect the devices we track, not the entire market.)

| 2022 | 20 | 65% | 85% |
| 2023 | 18 | 83% | 100% |
| 2024 | 33 | 82% | 100% |
| 2025 | 29 | 100% | 100% |
