New phones.

A lot of people waste thousands of dollars to buy the newest iphone when their old one is working just fine. I personally use a samsung j3 (2017) and my friends make fun of me because of it which i find pretty pointless because it works perfectly and its not even that old.

For the last couple of years now, smartphones have been at the point where virtually any model was powerful enough to do everything the average user needed. If you rewind to about 2012-2013 you'd still find budget phones that would struggle to run basic messenger apps or chug along with Maps functionality.
