Haven’t we reached the point where it doesn’t actually matter as much as it used to? A lot has been separated out into services that get updated through the play store. So being left behind isn’t as big of a problem anymore as long as you’re still getting security updates.
Yeah. Maybe improvements to cameras is still a thing, but even those are so much better now than they used to be. But even that is really dependent on what phone you get. A flagship will always have a better camera than a budget phone.
Other than that I see no reason to spend top dollar on a mobile device whose capabilities peaked 5 or more years ago. I just buy used unlocked mid range phones every three years or so. Can’t say I’m missing anything.
