There’s a spectrum. On one end you have people who pay zero attention to features and just buy whatever is “hot” or whatever is the latest iPhone. On the other is your “get off my lawn” types, still clinging to an LG V20 or maybe paying a ridiculous price for a Sony phone that has what should be basic features.
I think most of us fall towards the latter end. We hold out as long as we can but when these basic features are removed from 95% of the market your choices get real fuckin’ slim, real fast. And ultimately things like security updates, competitive pricing and functional batteries get the better of us.
