And then what happens to the phones those people had? We don't do this with laptops, desktops, or monitors. What makes phones so special?

Actually, yeah, I do do that with laptops and desktops and monitors. My entire family uses laptops that I once owned. And I'm using a laptop (as a server) that my parents once owned. My old monitor is now my nephew's monitor. etc.etc.

I am saying, do you buy the new model of the same laptop or monitor every single year?

Oh, ah, I see your point now. Apologies.

Not every year, no. Laptops are about every other year. Monitors are infrequent, yes.
