What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

This is also how I feel. However, I don’t want to upgrade mine every year, I want to upgrade every ten years when it actually makes sense.

I feel we can’t both be made happy.

I'm personally on an ~5 year cycle. If you're on a 10 year cycle, I assume you just don't use your phone for much at all to even merit buying a new model even when you do upgrade.
