    As much as anyone, I get wrapped up in an enthusiast’s mindset, falling prey to aggressive update cycles and phones offering “new” features.

    Too many users upgrade who don’t need to, and more extended software support will eliminate people feeling pressured into spending money they don’t have to.

    Okay, so it matters…just not to you. But you’ll still write an entire article about how the rest of us should be using our phones for longer. Rules for thee, but not for me?

      Bruh they’re a writer for an Android news site.

      They’re not saying you should be keeping old phones longer, they’re saying support should be added so that you can do so safely.

      No one should be using a Note 9, it stopped receiving security updates years ago.
