I can relate to what you’re saying.
I’m still on iPhone X. It doesn’t have neural cores, so I’ll upgrade when/if Apple Intelligence becomes indispensable or my phone breaks (never happened to me before) or my carrier forces me. Funny thing too, I used to be the guy that would buy/sell mobile phones all the time and had like 6 different phones on the go in the pre-smartphone era. But I did a lot of J2ME and BREW stuff back in the day. Now I’m a stingy bastard and have no plans of upgrading anytime soon.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
