Would you buy a new device just for the latest features?

Every time a new device drops, it’s tempting to jump on the latest features. But would you actually buy a new device just for those shiny new bells and whistles? 🤔 For some, it’s totally worth it, but for others, it might feel like a bit of a stretch—especially when it means shelling out a hefty amount 💸 while your current device is still going strong 💪. How do you decide when it’s time to upgrade?

If there's a feature that can innovatively save my time, I tend to change my device. But if it's just somewhat interesting rather than truly time-saving, I don't usually bother changing devices. It's too expensive.

Only if it's for my business because those new features might be very helpful.

For sure, and status plays a huge role here too.
I usually wait until my current devices starts showing its age. New features are cool, but if my device still works well, I prefer to stick with it a bit longer.
I usually wait until my current device is no longer performing well or if the new features genuinely offer a significant advantage. I don’t upgrade just for the sake of having the latest model.
I’m always curious about the latest features, but I usually wait until my current device is no longer working well before buying a new one.
I am an old Goldie in this matter, I don't prefer changing my device every few months just to show I have money.
I feel If your business or user base is expanding and your current setup can’t scale, it’s time to upgrade.
@kavyaaatripathi Agree. If your current setup can’t handle your growing needs, it’s smart to upgrade :)
It’s a mix of need and desire for me. If the latest features align with my needs or interests and my current device is outdated, I’ll consider upgrading.
I’ve definitely considered upgrading for new features before, but I usually wait until there’s a real need or a clear advantage to switching. New tech is tempting, but I prefer to be thoughtful about it.
need to improve more and much
Absolutely not, as long as it's not a revolutionary feature that I'll use daily! If you choose your devices wisely, considering your professional/personal needs, you should be fine for at least 5-6 solid years. My devices should be working for me; I should not be working to pay for my devices constantly :)
Sometimes those new features are just too tempting to resist! If the upgrade significantly improves my experience or productivity. I might go for it.
Not really. I usually prefer to wait until the new feature are proven to be genuineky useflu and necessary for my needa befoire upgradin
Probably not. I trend to wait for a bit to see if the new device lives up to the hype and id my current device
