New phones every year
Quick find code: 23-24-398-66290374
I used Samsung phones for like 10 years (I used to work for Samsung so for some of that time I was required to have one.) At some point I switched to Apple for its ecosystem, parental controls and just to try something new. When I was using Samsung phones, I upgraded every year, whether I could technically afford it or not, I found a way. Contract buy outs, trade-in credits, buying unlocked. Looking back I hate that guy, I don't know why I did it other than in the earlier years the differences were more noticeable and enticing to make you want the new model.
But now that I've switched to Apple, I have no intention of switching back. That's not a jab at Samsung or Android in any way, Apple just had the products and ecosystem that fit my specific needs. So now I keep my devices as long as I can, my first iPhone was the iPhone X and I would have kept it until about now but the trade in's they did for the iPhone 13 Pro Max essentially made the phone free. Also, I came from the Note series and missed having a big phone.

Waste of money to keep upgrading and beware of the 'rentals' that phone companies hide, make sure your 'buying' it.
^i nearly lost my S20, lucky enough they 'lost' my account and was easier for them for me pay 100 extra to keep it. Magic is ironic, I have great luck when anyone tries to scam me
how 1600$ is a rental fee is beyond me.
I use my Samsung A53 for calls and tethering my PC internet. S20 for mobile games and S6 that still works for mobile games as well.

It all depends on what you use a phone for on how much hardware it has to require.

That’s a good point! Seems the majority here are Samsung. No sign of Google pixel yet.
I was looking at nothing phone yesterday. It seems iMessage can be used on there so will this cause some users to shift I wonder. I don’t really like the lights on the back of the phone but it is affordable.

My phone is 20 years old, and it is not a smartphone.
