iphone upgrade
I am sure it will come as a surprise to many here, that many people use their phones for talking. Not necessarily telco connections, but also OTT apps. For many, this means that iPhone 4 level devices perform adequately. Even for people who have a fair amount of app usage, an iPhone6 is completely adequate - living with the time cost of switching an app to memory aside, performance is quite adequate for most things.
Personally, I put a new battery in my iPhone6 recently and that has upped the performance as it had been running in degraded mode for a while. I can see this phone being a monster seller as the folks who don't buy a new phone every year or two finally make the jump to newer tech. The A13 latest and greatest means that they will be able to count on about 5 years of software support more or less, and that'll be what'll push them to buy. Maybe I'll bin my 6 as well, depending on what deal my telco is offering.
Assuming a 5 year life, it's 90 quid a year and that's pocket money.
