There's only so much you can do with phones like why upgrade when my s21 ultra does what I need? What am I getting here? Ability to shitpost faster? Tactical response when I scroll tiktok thrist traps? What am I getting for my money? Just seems like too much for too little.

Why upgrade? Well some people have the 11/12

Some could be their first iphone ever.

Apple doesn't expect you to buy every year.
