Back then each new iPhone was such a massive improvement over the last it was like Christmas day when you'd upgrade. Now the new phones are just slightly better than the one you own. So it is hard to get excited over a new $1000 phone when you just bought one two years ago.

I felt the same about android flagships, now it barely matters which one you buy almost all of them surpassed basic needs and expectations years ago
