Nearly half of our readers now wait three years or more to replace their phones as spec upgrades have plateaued.

Companies stopped innovating. Phones are getting worse each year, yet they cost more and more.

    There's innovation! What are you even talking about‽

    I just upgraded my phone two months ago and now two of the four cameras (which is the same number as my old phone that I bought four years ago) have something like 20% more pixels!

    Also—now that I have the latest chip—I can talk to my phone in like three more languages. I don't speak any of them, but... Innovation!

    My new phone is also significantly heavier than the old one and the battery life is like 10% better than my old phone when it was new! Also, my display has a few extra lines of resolution on the top and bottom!

    No innovation? Hah!

    Don't forget all of the stupid AI bullshit that you need to disable manually
