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.

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.
