The true cost of a new iPhone

7. It might 'do' nearly everything a current phone can, but not as well in many cases

And def. not as quickly.

I kept my last phone (Samsung S5) for 5 years so I understand what you're saying, but I'm telling ya ... there's a big difference with my newer S20+.

Camera quality has improved a lot, bluetooth streaming sound quality is way better due to Apt-X technology, battery life is muuuuuch better, my screen is much higher resolution, speaker phone works much better, and everything I do on the phone is WAAAAAAAAAY snappier.

Also ... I get new android OS updates that old phones don't get anymore. Old phones become much less secure over time.

The 'updating everytime there's a new one' tip some people are on is almost always ridiculous, cost-wise. But every 3rd new one or so ... it can be worth it. Esp. if you're annoyed by slow performance.

Just saying
