I think that’s very true. What actually gives you value out of a device is what you end up doing with it. If you scroll through Instagram the feed you see will be the same on a new phone. You will type in the same apps. Not much new to expect.
That’s really a reason why I feel so excited: I am at a point where my old phone is really a hindrance. Right now I’m sitting here with the power cable hindering my typing, because I keep it plugged in until I leave the house. Of course that could be solved by just getting any new iPhone. But of course I‘m also enough of a fanboy to want the best and latest, now that I have to upgrade anyway.
Anyway, a new phone will actually change my usage at this point. Even if it is just by working as intended …
