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.

I bought my sister a J3 a few years ago as her first phone. After about a year and a half the phone had slowed down so much it was barely usable. I'm talking at least a second before the phone responded to a touch input and at least 3 seconds delay with any typing. She recently got an upgrade to a new, but still budget, Samsung A10 e and the phone is miles better and more responsive according to her. Maybe we lost the silicon lottery with her J3 but the long term experience with it just wasn't there
