I used to think this way but over the years I came to realize that iPhone progress comes at a price and the benefits greatly outweigh the cost. Notably: - iPhones improve over time (Face ID was somewhat slow on 10 but is really fast on 12) - Replacing allows Apple to fund next generations If no one upgraded, progress would not be as fast. My next wish is for Siri to be faster (no latency please) and smarter. With LLMs become mainstream, I can finally see a day this may happen. I'm more that happy to upgrade my phone every 2 or 3 generations to fund improvements of Apple silicon.
