Because even a 2 or 3 gen old iPhone is absolutely amazing.
Sure, the new ones are always bringing something slightly better and shinier, but the cost keeps rising each generation and the benefits are diminishing.
If you look at what you can actually buy if you get a refurbished iPhone11/12 today it’s an absolutely amazing value. When chip shortages are stable and something genuinely new comes along in a big way (5G/VR/AR/whatever) perhaps there is a new interest in new phones. But right now I don’t quite feel there is any need. Apple’s AirTag tech was actually good and I wouldn’t want a phone without it now, but that was something I discovered after getting the phone. It wouldn’t be enough to upgrade on its own.
