Is this a fucking joke? How fragile is our economy, that whether people buy new phones or not determines its success

"The average American now holds onto their smartphone for 29 months,"

LMFAO that's still way too consoomeristic. I cannot fathom changing phones any more frequently than 3 years. I'm shooting for 5 years on my current phone. I'd probably go even longer if I were an iPhone user.

It’s really pointless to upgrade frequently given the typical new features anymore.

hilarious article

'While squeezing as much life out of your device as possible may save money in the short run, especially amid widespread fears about the strength of the consumer and job market, it might cost the economy in the long run, especially when device hoarding occurs at the level of corporations."

Libs truly are sick what happened to "e-waste" and what's best for the environment?

I am trying to imagine talking to a GE executive in 1980, "Sir, people are only holding their phones for 15 years," then getting laughed the fuck out of the building.
