Your location/income bias is showing. Most people do not buy new phones every year.

I never said most people. But it's not uncommon. I personally find it ridiculous, and hold onto my phone until it's unusable, but plenty of people in middle class Australia seem convinced that they need the new one whenever it comes out.

I live in the bay area and buy a phone maybe every 3 years? Why do people waste so much money :D
