Phone plateaued 5 years ago for the average user.

I have a one plus 6. I'm on it for hours everyday. Reading. Browsing. Listening. No gaming. Lots of pictures.

My online data ran out long before my phone data - for pictures.

Phone runs fast. No more updates so nothing changes on me anymore.

I have zero reason to update. Would I like a better camera? Sure. But not for 1200$ I don't.

Could my battery last longer? Yeah. Sure. But I can replace it if I want for 20-40$

My next phone will probably be a refurbished last Gen phone. Nothing more then 400 I imagine.

Plus you can probably run stock Android on the op6 if you wanted to run Android 13
