I've had my tablet for 9 years, and I'd have had my phone for 4 years now had it not become faulty.
Devices have reached a point that they just don't need upgrading often, unless you're using them for video games or something cutting edge.
And of course, they're super expensive now too, and we're living in the worst cost of living crisis of our generation, struggling to pay for food. Of course we're not going to waste money replacing something that works fine 🤦♀️
