Those who use flagship phones, do you actually utilize its full processing power? If not, what was the reason you spent that instead of a mid range phone (or even a budget phone)? (piefed.ca)

so yeah... idk why most people buy flagships phones only to open tiktok, facebook, etc.

I mean does anyone actually game on their phone regularly? Like an entire pubg mobile gaming session on it?

Or is it primarily a camera thing.

My theory is I can spend a little more money on a better phone and then use it for years longer than a midrange phone before hungry OS updates finally cripple it.

But what if I have to calculate in the price of a battery replacement before the rest of the system can’t keep up anymore? I haven’t done the math because I don’t want to know.

My SIL buys the top iPhone every 2 years for the camera. She cannot be made to understand that anything newer than an iPhone 4 is TOTALLY FINE for taking photos of a bunch of people sitting around a table not even posing. They just get shrunk down to potato quality before they’re sent to anyone else anyway.
