Ask HN: Should Apple move to biennial iPhone announcements?

At this rate, the incremental improvements over the last gen iPhones are so negligible even Apple won't let you compare it with i16 on their website. Doesn't it make more sense for Apple and other phone companies to stop introducing a new phone every year and do it every two/three years?
It's also about iterating on internal capabilities, processes, technologies across design, sourcing, manufacturing, etc.
What makes it into each year's phones is what's had the kinks ironed out, and all the commercials sorted.
