I never felt any need to get an iPhone just to show off. My main thing is squeezing as much value as possible from what I own, so I usually keep my phone for years before changing. I prefer getting new tech only when my current device just doesn’t cut it anymore, or if I actually need it for work or proper content creation. There’s just too much pressure sometimes to buy the latest if everyone around you is upgrading, but when the money isn’t there, it’s just not worth the stress. For me it’s always about whether the phone does what I need, not just because everyone is buying it.
