I mean yea, who really needs to buy a phone every two years now?
I’m just curious about the “growth” of the high-end market, since the phones are getting more expensive, and it’s not like they’re offering that much more too. Is this just a case of blind consumerism?
Foldables, maybe?
They have no choice but to “grow”, since they are so new.
Sitting here ready and waiting to buy the next pixel with a headphone jack. Or better yet, a new blackberry. I’m not even sure which is less likely nowadays…
I bought a blackberry off ebay to use as an alarm a little while ago. I had never used one before and was like “wow this is really nice to use.” too bad I never got a chance to use it as anything else.
I used to have a blackberry, it was awesome. Right before touch screen really hit, had a track ball that would get dirty. Beyond that it was the best phone i had. When from that to a s3 then s7 then s9 and now s21.
One thing i noticed is i had to buy a buy a new phone more and more frequently. I went through two s9s and my s21 is so bad i need a new phone but hate the idea.
It seems like we’re genuinely at the ceiling for this stuff which might actually be a huge benefit and slow down the horrendous e-waste cycle we’ve perpetuated.
Wait till the EU battery replacement law kicks in. Kind of no need to upgrade then unless you crack the screen.
Difference between my Samsung s9+ and Samsung s21 is minimal.
I had to go back to my Pixel 4 while my Pixel 6Pro had it’s screen replaced. It felt like the same phone only I could unlock my phone easier. Maybe I’ll look for an upgrade around the pixel 9 or 10 if it holds out.
