Well I'm not against anyone who has the money and can afford to use the latest generation of their phone. But I think it's foolishness for someone to buy a phone on credit and you ain't really using it for business.

Even if they pay in installments, it means they can afford to buy new phones and they are not as poor as we think. Furthermore, the important thing is that as long as they are happy with what they do and satisfied with life, I don't see anything wrong with it. We should stop judging and criticizing others just because they wear new clothes or buy a new phone.


These phone companies are just after their own money and they will do everything possible to bring out a new generation of phones on yearly basis. You are right actually, there are no major differences between the new generation and the old ones, if not for the camera quality and storage space. It all does the same thing yet the price of the new one will be hiked. I hardly change my phones, I use my phones for 3 to 4 year before thinking of getting a new one. With the way the economy is I don't fancy the idea of changing phones on a yearly basis. If everyone thinks the way I do, these phone companies won't be producing new generations of phone on yearly basis, It would taken them 3 to 5 years before thinking of producing a new generation.
The iPhone 15 and 16 generations do not have too many differences, only small improvements and in my opinion are insignificant, but you are wrong because their prices remain the same. The iPhone 16 is still selling for the same price as the iPhone 15 when it launched last year. But for Huawei, the change this year is huge as they announced the world's first 3-screen foldable phone and only those with money can buy it.

Just because you rarely change your phone doesn't mean everyone else does, you and I are struggling with the current economy but not everyone is like us. In my opinion, it all depends on each person's preferences and finances. We should not impose our thoughts on others because we are not the same.
