Deflation would refer to the value of the same good. Obviously new smartphones are pitched as "new, improved" goods, and marketing sways consumers to get the latest and greatest.

Not so for staples.

Well, you buy staples now because you need them now to survive.

I'm actually more of a paperclip person myself. I haven't stapled anything in years, and I've survived just fine.
