Why Do Smartphones Keep Getting Faster?

Smartphones get faster because their brains grow bigger. Imagine your phone is like a brain made of tiny workers called transistors. The more workers you have, the more things your phone can do at once, and that makes it feel faster. Think of it like a classroom with more students: the more students you add, the more work gets done.
