Hi RMS.

Yes after using my previous Xperia for 3 and a half years, finally bought a new smartphone. Shit, should have spent it on a full-blown vacation.

>think about buying latest smartphone
>it doesn't do anything my 1st gen Moto G doesn't do
>don't want it anymore
What is even the point? What are people doing on their phones that requires an upgrade? The only reason I'd upgrade is for good battery life but nobody is even offering that.

I think they count on normies reflexively upgrading every 1-2 years as a matter of course. Or same normies being clumsy and breaking their phones frequently.

They'll probably keep doing that until it stops making money. I wouldn't be surprised if the market splits into two halves: cheap-as-dirt shitty chinkphones for third-world countries and $600+ flagships that first-worlders are expected to purchase on a two-year financing plan.
