    Everyone is shitting on Apple for barely any upgrades except the camera over the past few years.

    And really what we need is to stop it as a society that you need the latest things all the time.

      I completely agree, and I don’t think as many people are buying phones as often as they once did.

      But if I’m going to replace a 4-5 year-old phone, the replacement should be significantly better after that long.

      I don’t see anything compelling in the last 5 generations of phones, other than the camera. And even those are simply OK. Nothing justifies the prices we’re seeing.

      My perfect phone would be something like a Fairphone with a good camera. Reparability these days means way more to me than gimmicky crap.

      The one upgrade from Apple that I see it’s worth was the 15 line, because the finally dropped lightning for USB-C.

      No, people shit on Apple because they release the same phone every year at an absurdly high price point.

      If their phones were affordable, I think everyone would nearly universally love them. They sell standard at premium prices with lofty advertising that promises you the world, yet delivers the baseline, or just below it.
