When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

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

The only thing that has really upgraded in the last 10 years for Android phones is that that the RAM, CPU, and camera get incrementally better each year.

I mean yeah, that's a pretty sizable improvement overall. Improvements don't have to be jew gimmicks in every new phone. They can just be steady, incremental upgrades, and over time there's a pretty noticeable impact.

My point is that it isn't a reason for me to go out and get a new phone every year. Or even when the phones are planned to go obsolete after 2 years. Maybe after 5 or 6 years, but definitely not 2. It's not because of new technology that I want that I get new phones. I get new phones because the phones are designed to completely fall apart after 2 years.

I'm curious where multiple people in my responses got 1/2 year replacement cycles from, considering all I said is that I don't need eternal durability.
