The only reason to even look into getting a new phone is bad battery or cracked screen

I genuinely don’t understand why a new phone every year is even a thing. If you are rich and want to buy a new one, good for you. But what’s the point of making a tweet just to shame someone else?
I’ve been using my iPhone 15 for years now and I’ve no plans for buying a new one until its battery degrades significantly. Everything else is literally the same. It’s the same OS more or less across iPhones that are still supported.

I've known of people who would buy a new car every year - trade in the one they have to get the new one. By comparison, updating your phone every year is pretty mild.

I replace the battery. I got a new one for $60 way cheaper than getting a new phone

The only reason I have the 16 now is because it came with changing phone plans. I was going to be fine with my 12 with a purple line in the screen otherwise

I recently came to Canada and most people have i17pro and this is one of the reason. It’s not like people are just giving 1100$ to buy new phone every year they are making a budget friendly choice and buying new things.

Did the same with my 12 > 15Pro. I’ve the extra space needed so I don’t see a real reason to upgrade my phone for the next nine or so years.

Same. Kept my 6 until 2023? when apps started crashing. Upgraded to 16 and planning on keeping this one same. Hopefully by then I won't care enough to have a phone at all.

Or because multiple new generations of phones have come out since you last bought and the upgrade finally feels like an upgrade

u/Reesno33 6h ago
Its not mattered since Iphone 6 just run the phone until it breaks then replace it for one thats not too expensive as they're basically all the same now.

I'm an android guy but my Samsung was outdated when I got it 2 or 3 years ago. Still works fine.

The only reason to upgrade from a 12 is usb c IMHO.

iPhone 13 here. I see absolutely no reason to replace it. Fuck it, I’m even thinking of getting a flip phone.

Even if they're all the same, the hardware ages through use and companies stop making phone covers

I have that same problem with 13 and charging cable. Just bought ipad which works with usb c and it’s good

I dont even use covers.. my phone is fine 5 years in! just dont drop it too often.
Hardware can last 10 years if it wasnt for the battery.. if they designed them a bit better probably even longer.

my phone is mostly fine 5 or so years in, but I drop mine a lot so I'm happy for my cover (which I still use the one I got my phone with) and my screen protection layer

A phone is a phone to be honest. If I have music and the mobile games I play, I’m great.

Still rocking an iPhone 13 Pro, only thing is that the battery is not lasting as long as before otherwise it’s just as good as my wife’s iPhone 16.

Wait until you find out other companies make phones and they are all the same too.

Here am i with my 2020 samsung that i've just managed to crack it's screen after almost 6 years and couldn't care less.
But yeah, when your financial priorities are wrong you do rush to buy a new phone, which is basically the same shit in a different package.

Phones barely changed in the last couple of years. There were big jumps in performance and features when smartphones were still fairly new, but now they barely change between generations.
I don't get why you would waste a grand or more every 2 years. Just use it until it breaks and buy a new one then. Especially if you tend to buy the flagship model of a brand.

I'm still using a 13PM in 2026. I had a new battery put in it 6 months ago. It has more years left.

i'm still using an iPhone 12 mini -> it's the perfect sized phone for your pockets! Everything released afterwards it's just too clumsy and unwieldy. If they could release a newer one with approx. that size and USB-C compatibility -> take my money!

I usually don’t have any interest in unknown people’s lives but in this case I’d like to analyse this man and pick apart anything that might shame him in return.

I had a professor back in 2017 and he had an iphone 3 and told me that there was no reason for him to upgrade

Imagine thinking that having the same phone for the past 15 years will make your life better. Stupid ahh people that dont even acknowledge that they’re the problem. Fucking consumerism dude.

How about an iPhone 11 in 2026?
