iPhone 17 Would you hold on to your old iPhone, which continues to receive the latest iOS updates, without succumbing to the hype of purchasing a newer model?

Normally no.... Sadly I have a disease where I just have to have the latest and greatest. But i'm happy to report that I decided to hold on to my 16PM this year. I'm a recovering addict of consumerism.... It's been hard, but I'm taking it one day at a time, with the support of friends and family I can get through this and make it to September without upgrading. Keep me in your prayers

We all have our crosses to bear . . . very nice!😆

Holding on? Not a chance. Have replaced my iPhone every year for years and years.

Phones aren't what it used to be for me. The hype and "fun new little toy" from the past is gone for me. I realized I still much prefer to use a desktop computer with a good screen or a tablet over a phone. Even the pro max models screen is still too small to be comfortable for more than 10-15 minutes for me so nowadays I'm using my phone basically just for "phone stuff" like messaging, social media, health data, phone calls, Apple Pay etc but for entertainment purpose or browsing the web more than 2 minutes I much prefer my other devices so because of that, I'm not hyped for new phones anymore and I can easily think I'll keep my phone as long as it will receive updates or not work like it should but otherwise I'm pretty much done for new phones hype.

I'm even not excited anymore for new iOS updates like before.
