Let's see... Pay more for features I don't even use or care about or keep using my older phone that does everything I want. The greed of these companies, which they use new "features" to justify is absurd. Swap out the battery when it degrades. Don't let these companies trick you into upgrading every year or two, it's going not going to end well if we allow them to convince us to do so.
And that's one of the things that bothers me so much, they purposefully "obsolete" gadgets that still do everything you want just to force you to give them more of your money. First up against the wall, I say.

Exactly! I switched from Android to iPhone with the 12 mini. It does everything well and Apple is going to support it with software updates for 6+ years. Only thing it might need is a battery in a couple more years. It would be nice to have USB C so my wife and I could share chargers and cords but it's not worth upgrading just for that.

I couldn't agree more. Standardization of connectors would be a huge move forward, but these companies do their best to keep us out of each others ecosystems as much as they can. It's extremely anti-consumer.
