Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy

Our devices don’t change all that much to be honest. And the battery degregation is the only real reason to get a new phone. Some companies are even making it easy again to fix phones again.
Plus people can’t afford 1000$ phones full stop.

Yeah the last time I bought a phone was around 2021-22 with the S22, and that was the last time I could actually afford to buy a phone like that. If I were to buy a phone now it would be a cheap phone, not a main model from a big brand. My S22 still works, so I’m gonna keep using it.
The battery is starting to show its age, but nothing I can’t work around.
