I use a "brand new" 16" M1 because it makes a huge difference. I use an 8-year-old iPhone 6s because what difference does it make? I'm not a pro photographer or videographer, nor a mobile gamer. Are a few extra centimeters and an OLED screen and amazing camera going to change my experience of my mobile device? There's nothing at night in the dark I need to take photos of.

Yeah, for awhile each new iPhone was an incredible update; it felt like the flurry of computer upgrades I experienced in the late 90s/early 2000s (which is why Weird Al mentioned "upgrading twice a day" - it wasn't that fast but definitely remember upgrading once a month; build new computer, use it, sell it off and build another new one that would be noticeably better). I suspect many people upgrade phones now just because the battery is getting old and the cost of replacing the phone is a significant portion of the "free" one they can get by turning it in to their carrier.
