Should I buy a phone now? (lemmygrad.ml)

My current phone is ageing. Normally I wouldn't urgently think about it replacing it now but as AI eats the world I am worried that electronics will become more expensive with time. Computer components have already skyrocketed in price.

So should I buy one now? Or is there no need to panic?

Do you think your current phone is still adequate and will continue to be adequate for the the next couple of years? If not then buy a new one. If it's still doing its job and not likely to break down soon then why not wait? Chinese chip manufacturing is only going to get bigger, more advanced and cheaper over the next few years.
