do you really need the latest smartphone?

So, I was cleaning out my garage the other day and stumbled across a box filled with old smartphones. It got me thinking about how often we're lured into upgrading our phones, even when the one we have works just fine. I mean, is it just me, or do these new features they advertise really not change our lives that much? Sure, better cameras, faster processors, and all that jazz, but I've found that my trusty old phone does everything I need it to. For those of us trying to be smart with our money, it seems like holding on to a phone until it really can't keep up anymore might be the way to go. Has anyone else managed to resist the upgrade urge? Or maybe you've got a compelling reason to always get the latest tech? Let's chat about it. 📱
