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’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 :)
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
