Asking because… On one hand I do see smartphones being released left-and-right, and they are rather integral to modern life
On the other hand I’m still chugging alone with my Pixel 6a that I bought 3 years ago with a replaced battery and a somewhat clogged charging port… and all my previous phones I only replaced when they have serious deficits that make them difficult to use
Wondering when you all replace phones. Please definitely mention it too if you ended up repurposing the old phone for something else
Depends whom I’m talking to.
If by holdings onto your existing device your are inconveniencing others then replace it.
If by holding onto your existing device it is inconveniencing you, replace it.
Otherwise keep it. OS version and software support is arbitrary these days. Some times it matters, other times not so much
