    I just don’t see the point of upgrading every two years, and even if I did I’m buying used at this point.

    I’m on iPhone and despite all the fanatics creaming their pants over each release, very little actually seems to change.

    I know a guy with a 6 year old phone, and when he listed off the features it made me realise how little things have actually changed since it was released.

        Yeah, marginal camera improvements are kinda meh to me. Has there really been anything that significant since Face ID?

        5G is the only thing that springs to mind for me, but I’ve honestly never felt that 4G held me back on a phone considering it works perfectly for playing videos…

            That’s great, but considering everyone’s already got the cables they need, for most people it’s not really a feature to upgrade for.

              Most people have 1 cable they need for their phone and a lot of usb c. Upgrading means no more going to find that 1 unique charger.

                Yeah, it’s nice, I just don’t think that feature is worth upgrading for most people.

                Face ID and Apple Pay were jumps forward in the way that people use their phones and were quite exciting, introducing USB C is just backtracking.

                  You are the minority then. If you do a poll on what would make people buy a new iPhone it will be the usb c connection.
