    I update every 4 years, and it’s mainly just due to wear and tear and limited hardware and security improvements.

    I also just feel like you don’t appreciate the improvements that are made if you’re just getting incremental changes every year. Waiting a few years means you’re going from a ~10% improvement in performance to a ~40% improvement.

    But yeah, can’t wait for phones to become a thing that is updated when actually needed, like laptops. Not just annually because Big Tech tells us to or whatever.

      I appreciate all the technological quirks, but most people don’t really need or even use then.
      I do not know how different the current cameras are from an Iphone 11 Pro Max, but i just see people taking pretty pictures with the software optimizations (that could be updated via software) and uploading then to instagram, whatsapp etc, lots of times in compressed and digitally altered formats. Or writing text messages, using the bank app, playing shitty mobile games like candy crush, watching tiktok-youtube-streamings, paying stuff by nft, listening to spotify-other musics, etc. I really strugle to think how a common person with common habits will NEED to upgrade from a Iphone 14 Pro any time soon (for hardware reasons).
