For me, it's the happiness I get when the item is on it's way to my house. Once I unbox it, I immediately feel like crap again and feel the need to buy something else right away. I have a $170 Motorola G7 Power for 1 year now. During that year I tried to upgrade to more expensive phone and ended up returning all of them because most of them don't have the features that I love about my $170 Motorola (Karate chop to open flashlight, one button navigation, etc.) Now I'm feeling the need to upgrade again, mostly because I'm depressed. This video is exactly how I feel though and stopped me from making another stupid purchase. Great video and thank you for making it!

Ok you might want to upgrade in like another year for like less bezels better performance and battery and so on. I have mine like around 2. Also Moto actions are on other phones in their own way

I ended up buying the LG Q7 phone and never looked back. My earlier LG b2100 3g phone lasted 8 years. I personally think that upgrading is a waste of time and money.

Almost fell victim of unnecessary phone upgrade. After purchasing my M1 MacBook Pro last January, I felt the urge to upgrade my iPhone 6s Plus to either a Xs, Xr or 11 just because I want my phone to be just as new as my laptop. My 6s runs perfectly smooth and still has acceptable battery life. I searched for flaws in my current phone to convince myself to do an upgrade, but to no avail my 6s is still fine. Plus after watching this video, I sealed the deal and decided to keep using my 6s Plus until time comes it couldn’t keep up to my needs. Will allocate that cash supposedly reserved for impulsive phone upgrade for more useful stuff instead.

I totally agree with the sentiment about there generally not being a whole lot of value in upgrading unless your phone is dying or you're running into major issues these days, but in your case it sounds like your device is actually damaged. You can keep using it of course, but at that point I think you have a justifiable reason to buy a new device simply because your current one is damaged in a way that likely makes a significant difference in the overall experience in using it. They did come out with a new iPhone SE this year. It's up to you though.

I found that the best way to avoiding the hedonic treadmill of wanting more stuff is to quit watching videos and consuming media content focused on stuff, because the temptation will always be in front of you. Speaking of payments, if you see cars on the road that are 2-5 years old, and are already trashed and covered in dents, 99% of the time, their owners still owe money on them, or rolled over negative equity to get those cars. Whereas people who pay cash for new cars know how much they cost up front, and thus take care of them. Same goes with pretty much anything expensive that’s bought with cash. Well done video.

[@bettstp]

Every year probably not necessary but upgrading you are indeed getting, if not new features then improvements in performance. As apps scale up to utilise this performance the older phones have issues. This is coming from someone who has completely disregarded upgrading my iPhone. I still have an iPhone 6 from 2015. I had the battery replaced 2 years ago and otherwise it works and does what I need so I have not replaced it. But I only have to pick up my friends newer iPhone and use it for 5 seconds to see how much better it is, the screen, the camera, the speed. My iPhone 6 works fine but its like running Windows 10 on a 10 year old computer

[@mingming8262]

That's why this time i will not be updating the iOS of my XS Max since every major update is getting heavier. Yeah its still new and still capable but i rather have a snappy phone with outdated OS. Basically stay on what os your phone is released with. That's just me though.

[@bettstp]

Mingming the problem is also the apps though, firstly some will not function anymore unless you update them and then the new versions of these apps are designed for the newer phones so that's where I find my phone will struggle and appear quite slow. That said the apps are still usable and as I said it's only when I use the same app on someone else's newer phone that I then realise just how slow my phone is running

[@mingming8262]

Timothy Betts don't worry about the updates bro. They said that app updates will be 60% smaller which will help a lot in the long run since it will be lighter to load. My messenger app right now is only 35mb which was 200mb before i dont really remember but the difference was huge the app loads instantly now.

I just got my iPhone 13 this year which is the 5th phone I have at this time. My first phone back in 2015 was a ZTE budget smartphone which was the only android phone I've ever had before switching to iPhones one year later.

Actually, I think I might be wrong. I had another Android smartphone in 2016 but it was for a temporary use. It was an SKK Mobile budget smartphone that was only accessible in the Philippines but not in the US. Even if I had that temporary SKK phone, I still had my ZTE smartphone even though it was useless in the Philippines due to lack of roaming.

The first time I seen ur video I had an iPhone 7 Plus after selling my 2020 SE and I dealt with that phone for 3 months (April-June) until I got the 12 pro I’m glad I did because I wasn’t so quick to upgrade I waited till I had money & the right time to buy it thanks Scott

I always tell this to my friends..but when you do they’ll say you don’t have money

I’ve been using my iPhone X since 2018. I think there needs to be a balance. I’ve been maximizing my phones since I graduated college and would upgrade around every 4 years. I’ve educated myself more about phones such as maintenance of replacing batteries once they reach 80% battery health and considering to buy new phones when the battery life and memory offered has substantially increased.

Not upgrading your phone can also help lessen E-Waste.

I bought a Note 4 back in 2015. I used it for 4 and a half years Now i have a Note 10+. Im going to use this phone until it falls apart to pieces

[@vontel2701]

I think the problem that I typically have is convincing myself reasons why I NEED to buy a new device when deep down It won't really change my life and after 3 days of having it, something better comes out and the process repeats again

I am still using 2016 phone. Sony Xperia X Performance. I am happy to this day. It is STILL my dream phone. The design is one of the most beautiful phone I've ever seen. I am grateful I bought it refurbished for 45 Dollars. It is 80% condition, some normal use by previous owner. But still I am using the same phone for a year and I still love my phone 😘

I bought the 13 mini iPhone as I absolutely loved my iPhone 4s, and used it til it absolutely could not run on anything anymore and it was so glitchy when I finally gave it up! But I bought the 13 mini after having the iPhone XS Max for a while bc it reminded me of my most ever favorite phone! So I will be keeping this one for as many years as I can as I am so happy with it! Did I need it no but did my mind instantly get reminded of an old phone favorite yes yes it did!

I tend to upgrade every 2 years when my contract runs out and needs renewed.

[@elmutmagdaresha5154]

Not to mention how much garbage is created by buying newer and newer unnecessary things. Who thinks about where all their trash goes. If it gets recycled or not when its put in a blue bin. There is a clear reason not to upgrade besides saving money and being satisfied with what works.
