    Do you actually need a new phone? If you don’t need any new features just have your battery replaced and keep using it.

      I don’t even need a battery. Basically my point is it’s more expensive, with little more to offer, and I’m not spending that much on such an incremental upgrade. I don’t need to upgrade.

        So don’t buy one? You don’t need a new phone every 1-2y unless you’re a spectacularly well trained consumer.

        I usually replace my phone every 3-4y when power efficiency and performance have significantly improved, or there’s a new radio standard that I need (5G, AX WiFi) or the camera makes me want an upgrade. If none of those things are true then use your phone until it dies 🤷‍♂️

          I never said I was going to buy one…lol. Also pixel 9 is 3 iterations over the 6.

          My point is that they’re charging so much for what’s basically the same. Therefore I will not buy one.
