    Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.

    Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?

      Back when smartphones actually had big leaps in tech in made sense pre 2015 or so. Now, it’s very small interative changes. It makes no sense.

      For Apple products there is the petty “status symbol” thing. If I share my experience, my father has a mania of buying such stuff only for the sake of imagining that he is on some position where he is like, “Oh I own this and that, you peasants won’t understand.” The macbook he bought many months ago now lies dusted on a shelf because it is practically useless to everyone in the household at the moment. It’s a total waste of money for something no one cares about but him. I do not argue about it as it is a waste of time for me. It’s his dogma and his money. I have a more rational mindset of looking at things with a materialistic approach i.e. analytically measuring an object’s use value rather than its prestige.
