Also what people consider science is a bit of a continuum. There is what is universally objective scientific breakthrough (like discovery of quarks) on the one end, and universally objective non-breakthrough (like the construction of a simple bridge) on the other but where does the progress of iPhone 1 to iPhone 13 fit?
So much advancement is going on in or around computing right now I think that in the future we'll sorta look back and consider that closer to science than mere engineering.
No, I disagree. Science is something that's well established and has been around for centuries. Engineering is also well established and has been around for centuries. The iPhone is an engineering advancement and will always be viewed that way; it'll always be in the same category as building the aqueducts. There was nothing scientifically groundbreaking about it, unlike discovering gravity or radiation.
