True, but I think manufacturers have slowly conditioned us to be like that. If we realize that there's no need to buy the iPhone 15 or the Galaxy S24 just for the tiny redesign and some camera gimmicks, things could sway in the opposite direction... Batteries are a huge problem, though, and companies know this; they seal smartphones not because of water protection or design ;) Remember the LG G3? Super slim, 3,000 mAh battery, removable back; technically not waterproof but will survive a drop in the sink.
For me, more than 3 years does not make sense. Modern phones get old too fast. After 3 years they either fail or their battery is very weak. They also become too slow and buggy. Which of you is using a 3-year-old or older phone? 10% or less. if the phone is still alive, it is given to the children or grandparents. They don't install updates. They are absolutely against it because the changes confuse them. It is better to work more on optimizing the new current models.
Microsoft has always offered 10 years of updates for Windows. No reason why Android and Apple can't do the same for phones. Our smartphones have replaced our computers for most things anyway. I'm sure it's so they can sell more phones.
Things that are NOT allowed:
3 years of updates like Google is enough
no-one is MAKING you buy a new phone. If you want to spend your money on something more "meaningful" then do it
True. And also stemming from the fact that smartphone design and general interface have been virtually the same in the past 10 years.
