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 avoid it as much as possible.

The current phone I am using to type this right now is someone's old phone that they graciously gifted to me when they went and got a new one.

Not going to spend lots of money on tech that is going to be called old in a year.
