That's a market that has needed to die for everyone's best interest.

We don't have an affordability problem, we have a spending problem. People buying the latest greatest phone non-stop is why nobody has money.

My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Before that was an S7. And the only reason I upgraded from the S7 is because the S7 screen developed a tiny crack and the OLEDs began to decay and fail, and the battery had gone long enough that it couldn't keep up without two charges a day. Plus it wasn't compatible with 5G. Also, the camera on the S20 Ultra was (and still is) extremely good, the S7 was trash.

In that case I had objective reasons for upgrading.

Ask someone who just bought the latest iPhone what objectively makes it better than last year's model and they'll just stare at you dimly and say 'it's better cuz number go up'.
