    Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year’s $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn’t made obsolete that quickly

      Article seems to push the point that you can, in fact, buy a “last-gen” phone and it’ll be just as effective as the current gen. Which is true, since phone improvements are marginal or just shit that includes image-editing AI in the camera firmware since the diminishing improvements of hardware are really starting to kick the manufacturers’ ass.

      Right?

      I’m still using a 2018 flagship, courtesy of Lineage. It’s faster than the phones of anyone I know.
