You mean you don't want to waste a thousand dollars and more in pointless upgrades and accessories every year? Impossible!
Luckily you actually don’t have to do that.
Android devices are finally claiming to give as many years of OS updates as iPhones have so times are a-changing
Finally. As much as iPhones as got meme’d as “so expensive,” my budget spend was buying a few year-old iPhone renewed and riding it until it died or stopped getting security updates. Like, my 11 has at least a few more years still to go?
Android devices, in theory, could have the potential for even more savings due to their second hand market value falling off a cliff a few months after launch, but I don't if the decline is due to hype dying or people considering support windows.
