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

I have a iPhone Pro Max 13 and it feels brand new

 

[The Pledge]

I’m rocking this 16 pro max until we’re at 20PM

I’m sick of Apple and their bullshyt.

Im not a gadget geek & always been frugal. I use my phone, TV, car etc until it stops working.

Still rocking S23 Ultra and no reason to upgrade. But this article is screaming to promote consumerism

My mom kept her flip phone until Verizon stopped servicing it, and forced her to get a smartphone. She got an iPhone, and kept the flip phone as a “phone book”. She kept charging and using that phone until it snapped in two. She kept her first iPhone until THAT no longer got serviced. She basically keeps all phones until they no longer work, or get bushed by the provider.

Exactly

Life is not good enough for the majority of people to give af about cell phones really.

Like in the Obama years when things were smoother, people could afford to give af and have “cellphone” wars.


Now with stupid shyt daily, no one cares like they used to

Tone deaf as fukk.

This is basically all they need people for.. to keep spending and buying shyt

 

[O.T.I.S.]

like buying a new laptop every where. who does that.

This too

Basically buying/leasing a new laptop every year with the prices. Why tf would people want to do that? For the new microchip and camera

I hold onto my phones for years unless i see something cheaper with a upgrade of memory. Traded a piece of shyt iphone 12 for a brand new 14 last year. As long as i can play games, listen to music and browse the net i'm good.

Had my Iphone 11 for years and went straight to a 16 after I lost it…updated my gaming computer and that should last me until playstation 7 lol…shyt is not our fault

Just got a new iPhone this November, last one I bought was February 2019. No point in upgrading super often for minuscule battery gains and camera changes - I’m not a photographer
