They don't actually interest me much either. My question was bout you describing them as "incremental" upgrades. The Cambridge English dictionary gives this defintion and example "small: Changes at the newspaper are more incremental than radical."

That certainly is the standard usage of the word today, and that's why I asked. Regardless of whether they are features one uses or not, the listed changes are hardly "small", since they radically transform the functionality of the device, adding several completely new features.

Since you define those changes as "small" (as per the standard definition/usage of incremental") , I asked what sort of changes you consider to be more than incremental. Unless "incremental" in your idiolect means "not something that interests me"
