I think overall, 2014 was a disappointing year phone-wise.
iPhone users had a major year as the larger screen size gave them a big bump up in user experience.
Otherwise it all seemed so very iterative, compared to the year before.
I'd say 2012 was a much bigger year. Phones like the iPhone 5, Lumia 920, Lumia 1020, Galaxy S3, HTC One M7 were all a lot more market changing.
This was a big year for iPhone in terms of hardware, a big year for Android in terms of software - material design and a mixed year for windows phone (windows 8.1 was a massive software update on the phone but no major hardware this year).
I think it's been a bigger year for tablets - iPad plateauing with no major improvements, improvements in quality of Android tablets, Windows 8.1 spreading down to £99 tablets. This christmas thanks to the Linx brand, windows tablets have come out of nowhere to be everywhere.
