A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

We don't... Maybe stop falling victim to FOMO and needing the newest thing that isn't much better than what you already have?
This is more an issue of your own mindset (and somewhat of a common one with Apple users in general in my experience) than with the tech. I've had 4 smartphones since smartphones were a thing, and I do have a desire to have the fastest, most powerful hardware. There just isn't enough difference in hardware to justify upgrading every time something new comes out, so I only actually get something new when my old thing literally stops functioning.
I have a 3 year old pixel and probably won't upgrade to any new phone soon. I'm talking about companies making it so people feel like they need to do so.
