XS Max here, it’s insane how long these things last. I will be upgrading this year though, cuz my partner has a 64GB phone and needs way more space for cat pictures. I’d like 120hz and USB-C!
It’s a 900 dollar device
Most high-end phones are 900-1000$ nowadays anyway, so it really doesn't matter much. It's more of if you want Android or Ios.
Yeah I think the point i made badly, was that the new norm seems to be, if you get 5 years out of a $1000 device you think it’s good value .
I do agree that, getting 5 years out of a $1000 phone is stupid. But at the same time it's the best we can do right now. Massive companies like Apple or Samsung are not gonna listen to us that much.
cool
Very perceptive.
