minus-squareburliman@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23arrow-down2·1 year agoAlready do. Used to buy new phone every year. Now it’s every three years or so. That is completely due to price and lack of compelling innovation. Don’t care if shareholders make money or not. I just like good value.

I’m home sick and didn’t even open the box yet. I’m not particularly excited for a new phone, but my xr is just not working well enough any longer.
