You should upgrade when it no longer serves your needs or there's damage and the cost can't be justified. The only reason I upgraded from my S3 was because it wasn't doing what I needed and I got my S5 free. Only reason I want to upgrade is because the camera is fucked and it will cost a lot to have it repaired and I can't do it myself because my hands are too fucked.

Moore law only work with the presence of healthy competition. When there's a monopoly it "dies".

It used to be that simple, but these days stuff doesn't break, it just gets progressively less able to handle the increasing bloat behind webpages and websites. My S3 lags during web browsing but it's not QUITE bad enough for me to upgrade, unless I knew I was upgrading to something that would last a while. I was nearly going to buy a Note 7 till they started blowing up.
