      I had to check, and my current phone (Gslaxy S10) was released 6 months before the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I have no plans on upgrading any time soon.

        Yeah I’m on an S8 and it’s been feeling like time to upgrade for a whiile now unfortunately. But it’s holding up much better than you’d expect.

        Yep. Made a switch to iPhone when the 14 came out. Verizon rep thought my wife and I were retarded for not wanting to pay an extra $500 and ditch the 13. Only time I get a new phone is when it’s destroyed. No need to have the latest and greatest when it’s not doing anything functionally different.
