Asking because… On one hand I do see smartphones being released left-and-right, and they are rather integral to modern life
On the other hand I’m still chugging alone with my Pixel 6a that I bought 3 years ago with a replaced battery and a somewhat clogged charging port… and all my previous phones I only replaced when they have serious deficits that make them difficult to use
Wondering when you all replace phones. Please definitely mention it too if you ended up repurposing the old phone for something else
I had a moment of reflection last year about this. I told a coworker that my phone doesn’t have service in the building and I refuse to get on company Wi-Fi with my personal device.
He explained that when he gets a new phone, he uses his old one as work only.
My brain hovered for a minute in “but the old one is broken do you get it fixed or something?” Before clicking in “oh, he buys a new phone before the old one goes bad”
My brain genuinely struggled with the concept. Maybe if he’d been a rich person it would have connected sooner. I dunno
If you still have that service issue, get an MVNO SIM that runs on a different network.
