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.

iPhones will last you 5 years easily. They’re too expensive though, because they’re status symbols for morons.

They cost about the same as any other top-tier phone… and they’re top-tier phones.

Except that they run iOS which is just a bit better than a dumb phone for me. And good luck replacing any parts. Not like it's easy with most other devices, but at least you're not blocked by software from doing that.
