Do you still chase peak gadget specs, or did something quieter win out?
Honest question after a few upgrade cycles: the gap between “great” and “fine” on a review score often mattered less day to day than battery life, repairability, and whether the maker still ships updates. Curious what you actually weigh now before you buy — no brands required.
The upgrades based on specs are artificial money grabs based on impractical psychometric based consumer modelling and planned obsalescence.
As I get older, I’m increasingly prone to abandoning things entirely. This may be my last smartphone.
