It’s all very well equipping phones with longer-lasting hardware, but it’s self defeating if the software can’t keep up. Do you agree brands should be doing more? “What do you mean, I need a new phone? I’ve only had this for four years – it works absolutely fine.” I hate having this conversation with people, and yet I have it all too often. It’s true that a four-year-old phone does a perfectly fine job: it still makes calls, runs apps, takes photos, plays music, and it seems incredibly wasteful to stop using it and buy a new phone.
