A new survey reveals users are waiting longer to upgrade. Over 49% of readers now wait three years for a new smartphone.

I’m really surprised that 256 GB is still the maximum many today’s phones offer. My phone from 2018 has that amount of storage. I know there are a few that offer 512 but after 8 years I would expect the baseline to be higher and terabyte area to be the norm in the higher end phones.
Compare that to 2010 vs 2018.
512GB variant is going to be rare. There was a time in 2023 when you could get a midrange phone with 1TB of storage.
Now, all they talk about are downgrades. Greed has been affecting us all this time.
