I’ve always felt the best time to upgrade is when the software EOL’s. Probably not for another couple of years on the iPhone X

You get a couple of years of security updates, and new software starts to use the newest features to the fullest in the meantime, so when you take the plunge, it's always a bigger, more worthy jump.

You can safely leave the device behind then, to use as an emergency phone, if the need arises.

So, 1-2 years is not that crucial, but after that you really start to feel the gap. Same for Macs.
