Just because someone thinks it’s a waste of money or poor value doesn’t mean they won’t buy it anyway.

I have an iPhone XR and, while there’s nothing about it lacking in daily use, I still have persistent thoughts of it as an older low resolution phone that I should upgrade.

It can objectively be a waste of money but practical concerns require people to buy new phones. Users have no control over the fact that the OS and apps get ever more resource hungry despite marginal generally unimportant improvements in utility.
