Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade::North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.
Since the Pixel 1 I’ve been buying a new phone every four years. Honestly I prefer it that way. Saves money and the upgrades feel more meaningful. As long as the battery is good, you still get security updates, and the hardware is intact, what is the reason to upgrade beyond being told to consume?
Looking forward to the Pixel 8 next month, since my 4 is actually starting to show it’s age.
My 5… battery is draining faster, apps have to be started, are slow to load. I’ve done the cache cleanup and everything under the sun. Might see what the 7 costs in a week or two when they announce the 8… usually previous inventory is marked down.
