    Had there even been a substantial enough improvement to justify buying a new phone in the last 5 years?

      Not really. Only if you don’t receive security updates anymore.

      Cameras and game performance are about the only things for most people.

      My phone died, so I got a flagship phone for once in my life. Got one with really good cameras with the intention of running it till it dies. Plus I absolutely love the stylus it comes with. I had the money, so it’s not a financial burden.

      I keep phones for like 6-8 years lol. Had my iphone 4s well past the support date lol. Same with my 6. Now on Android, first with a budget one that died, now with a nice one I hope to get many years out of.
