> Does it really increase exponentially or does 'exponentially' just mean 'a lot' now? Genuinely curious. Also I think I'm allowed to be pedantic when the source is an electrical engineer.
I mean, exponential over what? Over time? The failure rate (more accurately the cumulative failure count) will probably grow logistically, but would have done so without the firmware size increase. Over free space reduction? That should be linear. More accurately, the amount of data you can turn over before wearing out the flash should have a linear relationship to the amount of unallocated storage available.
