So, I thought I'd kick things off here with some community building.

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

Pixel 6 Pro I'm happy with it, but looking forward to the next upgrade too. The size is slightly larger than I'd like, and I think they oversold the telephoto lens. Regular pictures are great, performance is good, battery life works for me. I usually upgrade every 3 years or so. My first phone was one of the Nokia candy bar free phones that came with a contract. I had Blackberries through work for years and thought they were cool at the time, switched to iPhones when those were new, then the Nexus and Pixel lines from Google. I usually use Android and Windows, but I've been thinking about getting some sort of Apple laptop.

Yeah, that's the problem for me. I prefer Android, but I can't quit the Macbook. The M1 and M2 chips are just so far ahead of the Windows options in terms of power and battery life, and I confess I much prefer MacOS over Windows too. And, since I'm not a PC gamer, I'm not really fussed about that aspect of things.
