I got the S24+, and my wife got the S25+, and I swear they are the exact same phone.
The changes we are seeing year over year are minute and iterative - gone are the days of anything “revolutionary” driving you to get the latest model every year.
I literally have a laptop in my pocket, and until we can make huge leaps in battery technology (i.e. good, fast, and cheap), I don’t think we’ll be seeing a need to update our phones for 2-5 years easy.
The last time I got a new phone, they took away the 3.5mm jack. Now it’s hard to play music without Bluetooth speakers.
I only got a new phone because the battery failed and they no longer offered the old model. New models are taking away features I want to add bullshit I don’t.
