I believe someone else in this thread has mentioned this already, For most people the feature set on phones has been stagnant for many years. Most users have their use case met already and additional features are really just bloat (for the most part). Not all people are into tech, and a phone is simply a tool. And therefore don’t always want/need the latest and greatest.

Believe it or not, some people aren’t big on over consumption and want things to last. Companies should do better and not produce crap that’s going to end up in landfill in a few years.

I just wait for family or friends who are on contracts to upgrade. They’re usually pretty happy to let them go for a reasonable price. My partner just brought a 12 (I think) from her brother who upgrades every other year.

Honestly for me, if my phone fits my needs, I see no point to upgrading. I tend to steer towards iPhones for their long support and the “just works” aspect. I had an iPhone 8 until this year and only just upgraded to an 11 after breaking it. But each to their own, a phone is just a tool for me.

Your work is good from far…..but far from good.

Did anyone else think this was a headline from The Onion?

Good explanation. Even if their long term support doesn’t work out it’s nice to see a trend towards long term support and reduction of e-waste.

This is really good to hear. The worst thing about mid range android phones is the lack of future software support. Even flagship androids aren’t anything to write home about. As much as people like shitting on apple, they support their devices for quite a while compared to other manufacturers.

I wish Shorten had the opportunity to be prime minister. Seems like a genuinely good person.

Maybe Scomo could recommend a good empathy consultant.

I’m sure their coverage will be fair and balanced. No doubt this channel will be available on Freeview in regional areas. Honestly just sad and desperate.
