If no one else has coined the phrase "innovation fatigue", I would like to call dibs on that.

I have an iPhone 7. So long as Apple doesn't slow it down to dog slow speeds, I can't see ever getting a new phone until this one literally becomes completely inoperable by an act of god. This constant push to upgrade because of "features" just gets tiresome eventually. Am I alone in this?

I have a 7 Plus and am not getting an 8 or X. I will probably upgrade in a year so that I can get a better camera and (hopefully) a smaller phone.

I got the Plus because I wanted the dual-camera setup for Portrait Mode, and this tradeoff has been worthwhile overall. But I would really like to have a smaller phone, so I'll jump ship as soon as the dual-camera setup is offered on a smaller phone — without having to pay the premium for the X.

I'm also on the 7. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this phone, but I'll probably wait for the X2 (or whatever the next X will be called) and then upgrade to that once it comes out.
