Last phone was an iPhone 13. Current is the 17.
I don’t game so unless something catastrophic happens I don’t see myself needing to get a new phone for a very long time.
I have no interest running “AI”, either.
See what amazon did to older working kindles. Is there a law that phone makers can't just brick their devices when considered old enough? It doesn't seem that way. Soon we will all revert back to phones as phones only.
Same. I upgraded bc my 13 was starting to show signs of age. I would’ve waiting until it catastrophically gained, but with the ai/chip crisis I figured there was no way future iPhones were going to be cheaper, so I got a 17. Looks like I made the right call
As former IT, most people seem to go from iphone 12/13 to 17 in the last year. Anecdotally, my wife and I went from S17s to $300 motorolas. My parents take the rotating yearly "upgrade" offer and seem fine with that
Depending on what moto does with graphene I may just need that instead.
