Is this even an exclusive Apple problem? Are we seeing anything different out of the Galaxy line? Great phones, but it's not like they're spewing out draw-dropping features with every iteration.
There used to be very visible gaps in what the technology could do (HD video, cut/paste, LTE, etc), but now all phones can do those basic necessities. I don't think there's a glaring need in the mobile space right now. Plenty of fringe things that impact small numbers of people absolutely, but nothing that everybody sits around and begs for.

You're absolutely right on this point. No, the Galaxy S5 is basically the same as the S4, which is basically the same as S3. I directed my comment at Apple because of their history of innovation and their resources.
I think you're wrong that there isn't a glaring need in the mobile space right now. A big thing in the future will be some way to give us a huge screen that can fold/roll/hide so the physical device is small when you put it in your pocket. Also battery life...if somebody can give us a seven-day charge, it'll be groundbreaking. I think that will come not from battery innovation, but from a new type of screen.
