The middle class is riddled with debt, shrinking, so I have no clue who is rushing for a new phone. Maybe I’m turning old, but I have almost no reason to upgrade, unless there’s forced obsolescence or something.

Same. I used to be the upgrade every year person. Now I’m the hold on to it for as long as the battery lasts, get a new battery, hold on as long as that battery lasts, then maybe upgrade.

I’m clinging to my iPhone 13 mini for dear life. I just dont seem to understand the “improvements” any more. It feels like the same phone every year.
