We have used swappa.com to buy used phones for the last purchases. Let someone else pay the depreciation on the new phone and then get it cheaper. This also means you own the phone outright and switch carriers on a whim. We have iphones and they are 7 plus, 7, 7 and 11. The reason for the 11 is because switching providers gave us a discount. I was thinking about upgrading but it does what it needs to and the only feature I might take advantage of is better camera. In my mind the cool new tech phase of phones has been over for a long while. They are like refrigerators now - any new features (TV in fridge) are mostly just gimmicks. There might be minor advancements in various features but they don't seem like reasons to upgrade. If people choose to put their disposable income into new phones every year, have at it, I'd rather spend it on hobbies.
