I know I'm an old grouchy cranky so-and-so :), but the case for upgrade is really not compelling. All the majors have followed Apple's lead and create crippled Flagship phones with no 3.5mm, no MicroSD card, and compromised usability. Meanwhile, they don't bring me anything I don't already have on my Samsung Note 8. On the Apple side, my wife still uses iPhone XR. It's fine. It surfs, it banks, it calls, it messages. Photography is the one area new phones excel at, but jeebus - For $1500+, I can (and will) get a nice real camera instead :).
