With apple’s recycled event, I’ve come to say I’m sick of phones.

Phones are already “perfected”. They can call. Run apps.

We really need to focus on efficiency. E.g, lowering price, increasing battery life, improving software

But nooo. Add a bunch of extremely minor features with a 50% faster chip so you can watch ads at 1080p instead of 720p. I don’t care! Give me a phone that’ll last me 5 years and has a battery life that lasts a week. I don’t need this crap every year. Why do we live in a situation where people think they need to buy a new phone yearly?!

I say a phone should get at minimum 5 years of software support.

    “Why do we live in a place where you need to buy a new phone yearly?!”

    Cause’ that’s how large corporations work today and that’s how they can maintain the business. Do you think they care that you have a phone that lasts 5 years? No, they want you to buy more and more, That’s why they make phones that degrade quickly and release new models every year.
