No. But it's not gonna stop people from buying the newest model every year, so I can't fault apple for releasing a new one every year. I plan on keeping my 64gb 6S until it doesn't work anymore. $45 bill from Verizon for unlimited talk/text/data
What a coincidence. How did your phone break?thats funny i got my iPhone 5c in jan 2015 also it broke months ago
What a coincidence. How did your phone break?
Breh, that s upgrade was greatly needed for the iPhone 6 plus. That phone performance sucked ass. It was smooth of course, but switch back and forth between a few apps and the shyt was always reloading shyt..1gb of ram for a 1080p phone lolThink about it like this. Every year there are people upgrading their phones. Shouldn't there be a new product for them? People usually upgrade every 2 years or so. From that perspective you'd want to have a new phone ready for them.
If you feel the need to upgrade your phone every year just because they put out a new product that's on you. I say this as a person that buys 3 phones outright every year. I buy the Galaxy S then the Galaxy Note and then the iPhone and have done so the past 2 years.
Year to year not much changes though. From the iPhone 6 to 6S to 7 it was damn near the same phone and I wasted my money but I'm a tech head and I have to have the latest. The iPhone 8 is also looking like damn near the same phone.
I agree with this. In light of this point, ill agree with @Pink_Freud most of the blame from over consumption lies with the consumer.To answer your question? = YES
Do you need to buy one every year? = NO
Anyone who buys a phone every year then complains about marginal upgrades/updates are idiots.
Plus you cant even get 100% full usage of a phone in a year.
But if you get a new phone ever other or ever 3 years, it will trump your expectations.
I hear cats that had an iPhone 6.5 plus mad at the iPhone 7.
Hell I just went from an 16Gig iPhone 5 to a 256 Gig iPhone 7 Plus and have NO complaints and this shyt is MAJOR in terms as far as the differences

/threadit's fine that they drop every year. most phone contracts are two years anyway. ppl's problem is that ppl can't NOT have the next thing for another year.
the problem is the consumer, not the supplier.
Just because they release a new model every year doesn't mean you have to buy it every year.
So it's incorrect that their phones have a short life span.
My pops been rocking the same iphone 5 for 4 years now without any issues
