I'm still "clinging" to my Pixel 6 Pro. I have an unboxed pixel 8 pro from 2 years ago. My corporate contract subsidizes a new phone every two years from the time of contract renewal.

I really think the phone update cycle needs to be lengthened, and that updates are so slightly incremental.

I would like to dip my toes into the fold phone pond, but that seems excessive. In November, Vodafone will call me and ask me which phone I want. It all seems ridiculous. I haven't noticed a difference in photo quality nor performance for years now have I felt the need to upgrade to the two-generations-later sitting in a drawer just meters way from me.

The only comment/complaint I have about newer software updates is the f*king voice which kicked in while taking a photo. "One pet cropped, move phone slightly down".

Why would you not sell the unused phone instead of it sitting in a box depreciating?

I don't think it's depreciating much but you're right. It's going to one of my sisters. I held off a bit because it is corporate property but now it's written off in accounting terms.
