@samhenrigold even “new” product categories like the watch or whatever the dumb headset is called no longer excite me the way new iphones used to. there’s so little “surprise and delight” anymore. it’s just “oh yeah it’s faster, cool; oh they just made the phone’s AR stuff fit on your head, OK,” etc.

When I bought my current phone, I only did it because I need a smartphone to function in the modern society. I had to buy a new one because my first-gen Pixel was literally falling apart because I couldn't put it back together correctly after replacing the battery (the screen needs to be glued back on and I did a poor job of it) and the battery stopped holding a sensible amount of charge again.

Just give me a 4" phone that isn't extremely cheaply made, ffs. Then I might consider being excited about getting a new phone.
