How long do you keep your phone before buying a new one? It is based on this article that especially Apple fanboys, buy a new phone every year when the new one comes out.

I don't understand why people would upgrade their phone every year. It's so wasteful, and there's barely any changes from year to year. Most of the larger upgrades these days are in software rather than hardware.
