I was the kind of person who would upgrade every year... and not just my phone, but a bunch of other tech.
I currently have a 7+ and haven’t bothered to upgrade. The upgrades are so marginal and the time it takes to actually upgrade seems like a hassle these days. It takes me a good 8 hours of work to upgrade a device—transferring this and that, getting things set up, learning the new gestures (which don’t do anything fundamental new), moving over 2FA (even though Authy makes it a little easier, you still have to set up things like Mail, Gmail, etc.).
If I buy a new iPhone tomorrow it will probably take me all day to have it be a clone of my current phone in every app and whatnot. Just not worth it. I’ll do it when the battery becomes insufferable, but the reality is that that new iPhone isn’t worth the hassle, despite how relatively hassle free iCloud makes it.
