My two adolescent children each own second-hand iPhones, which they rely on daily as their most priced possessions. It's intriguing to note their complete disinterest in newer models or upgrades. They regard their iPhones in a manner akin to my perspective on a dishwasher: indispensable, yet no desire for a change as long as they serve their purpose.

- bombcar 3y agoApple’s USB C has been a reason to upgrade before we strictly had to (deals available made a strong argument also). I don’t foresee upgrading this before phone destruction.

As near as I can tell it's basically identical, but with the lock / volume buttons shifted slightly - so my old case doesn't fit properly, and my muscle memory is screwed up. Lots of things generally work slightly worse for no particular reason - it does a worse job of tracking my bike rides with Google Fit. Your dishwasher comparison is quite apt to me - I bought a house last year with a dishwasher that had been badly neglected. I got it cleaned out and it's generally working reasonably, but the heated dry cycle doesn't work properly. I'd like to get a new one, but I'm skeptical that it will actually work better.
