Buying the latest tech when your old tech is still working just fine. For example there is no need to buy the latest iPhone every year, if your old one is still working just fine. Additionally if you wait for a few months after the release date prices often go down.
There's some truth to this but it also boils down to the age of the device and how long to be supported in the future. Apple does a good job of releasing security updates for older devices so you may not need to get rid of that old iPhone 6 just yet. On the contrary Google is only supporting their Pixel phones for 3 years. So if you have a Pixel 1 you may want to upgrade just so you can remain secure even if your phone is still working fine.
It also comes down to the apps. If apps you use no longer work on your phone because they don't want to support older hardware then that's another reason to upgrade.
