With apple's recycled event, I've come to say I'm sick of phones.

Phones are already "perfected". They can call. Run apps.

We really need to focus on efficiency. E.g, lowering price, increasing battery life, improving software

But nooo. Add a bunch of extremely minor features with a 50% faster chip so you can watch ads at 1080p instead of 720p. I don't care! Give me a phone that'll last me 5 years and has a battery life that lasts a week. I don't need this crap every year. Why do we live in a situation where people think they need to buy a new phone yearly?!

I say a phone should get at minimum 5 years of software support.

I tried going to a brand that wasn't top tier to save money once. The phone literally struggled to run snapchat. Crapped out and was replaced under warranty. Tried a not top tier Samsung, but anything below flagship has a lower res and it honestly bothered me. So I'm back to flagship Samsung mostly for screen res. I honestly don't know where to go from here.
