Nobody is forcing anyone to buy a new phone every year.

iPhone 5S, released more than 8 years ago, is still getting updates.

My iPhone 7 is a handmedown that I got 3 years ago. I see no reason to upgrade until it A) dies or B) stops receiving security updates, at which point I’ll probably just get another handmedown from someone who likes new things more than I do.
