The new camera technologies are, for me at least, a reason to upgrade to the current generation. I'm going to grab an IPhone X along with some telephoto lenses for my wife so she can stop taking both her phone and DLSR camera on trips. I agree that, in general, the reasons for upgrading your phone are less and less. I don't know how new that actually is though, I was using my first generation ipad until a couple of years ago; Apple kit tends to last forever and a lot of new features came in software upgrades. Same with the Nexus/Pixel series in Android world.
