but i am still using the same old apps i used 5 years ago. it also seems we don’t have or need many new fun apps. but the apps still become slowly over time on the old phone, even though they only have the old same features.

the camera is the only thing that’s really surprising. especially at night.

    Phone upgrades have not been exciting for years The last time I upgraded a phone and was truly excited was going from the Nexus 4 to the Nexus 6P. Back then (could still be the same) Android was notorious for phasing out older Android versions. I remember absolutely loving the Nexus 4 and then over time my apps slowly became no longer supported/useable due to the version of Android the device had. That is a terrible business model. That, among others, was one of the driving forces that pushed me towards iOS. I have been using an iPhone since early 2017, I see no chance of me ever going back to the Android platform.

    I started with the iPhone 8. The microphone broke, moved to the 11 Pro. Used that model for just over 3 years and picked up my current 14 Pro Max. They have all been fantastic, but not what I would deem as exciting.
