A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades - Lemmy.world

SO. MUCH. THIS.

Consumers however are at the heart of an unhealthy culture of frequent device upgrades

Yes, blame it on the consumer and not on the companies that spend an incredible amount of money to first hire marketeers that think all day long of the best way to push ‘new’ products, and then run costly campaigns to spread the word.

And that make their phones expensive enough to repair that buying a new one is a logical fiscal decision.
