It's not about planned obsolescence. Mobile has seen the same type of dramatic performance increase you use to see in PCs back in the day. Can you imagine using a computer from 1996 in 2008?

Yes, and I am definitely seeing this curve already flattening out for mobile. My current iPhone 6s seems usable with even very good speed way longer than my 3gs did.

I have no issues with my 128GB 6s running iOS 11. The only reason I'm thinking about "upgrading" this year is to hopefully get an upgraded SE. I want to go back to a four inch phone.

Sadly, my iPhone 6 feels slower with every update. Battery is new.

That's my experience on Android too (posting this from an S4 running Lineage OS).
