    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.

      Maybe they have a six year old phone and are interested in upgrading? I don’t think that many people are doing yearly upgrades nowadays, it’s expensive and pointless.

        I’ve got a 12 and will be upgrading to a 15 Pro mainly due to my current phone having a scratch and I really want the USB-C charging option so that I can finally have a single charger type for everything.

        Outside of the USB-C change, I don’t see much of a difference between my current 12 and the base 15, hence why I’m going for the 15 Pro. If not for the USB-C, I’d be sticking with my lightly-scratched 12.

          Why not use an Android phone? All of them have been using USB-C for ages, and they generally have more options for privacy and customisation.
