Why does everyone keep buying these things? I have none of these in my home, not even an old school TV and no listening devices, and it wasn't hard to find normal appliances.

It was a lot easier to convince us that tech upgrades were worth it back in the day because things actually did improve at a good rate.

Now we have the same solid 1000 dollar slab in our pockets that haven't changed in 20 years.

Tbf, phones do change incrementally. I’m fine with them not changing drastically. It lets me hold on to my phone for several years.

We used to have our phones for 5+ years on average. Now that's noteworthy.

I meant change in terms of design language for the better.

the first iphone came out in 2007 and had a large button on the front.

And somehow we've even managed to get rid of that.

The home button going away was actually the last straw I had for any hopes of going iPhone in the future.
