How often do you buy a new phone? (lemmy.zip)

How long do you keep your phone before buying a new one? It is based on this article that especially Apple fanboys, buy a new phone every year when the new one comes out.

Every other day! I just can't help myself! A new model is released and the hype machine starts up; updates are released to downgrade performance on older models--I just wag my tail non-stop! It's so exciting! Those flashy lights and colours! Ooooo! This money belongs in their wallets and everyone's going to get a hold them! And I tell myself pathetic lies: oh, the battery can't be replaced... if only it had screws... it's way too hard to heart up glue and put a new battery in. Besides--all my friends are going into debt too! Plus those new features: it can make phone calls and text! Look! E-mail access too!
