Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.
Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?
Back when smartphones actually had big leaps in tech in made sense pre 2015 or so. Now, it's very small interative changes. It makes no sense.
This is part of the reason. For a decade every year the new devices actually came with new and actually improved features.
However, the other part of the problem is the way these devices were and continue to be marketed. Having a big event to talk every little improvement up and overhype the new devices works to some degree.
I mean the big event used to talk about big new features.
Phones like desktops have become pretty stable. There's not much in terms of major missing features that anyone has come up with recently.
