I like to upgrade my phones, and my wife's phone, as quickly as possible if I have a compelling reason. And, I am rather liberal about what I consider a compelling reason: better resolution, more battery life, better performance, some new sensor, etc. I have larger hands also, so a fatter phone in a larger form factor would be better for me too, because petite phones are a pain to handle.

The Milquetoast addition of a USB-C interface to to satisfy EU dictats does not a compelling reason provide.

The reports coming in of battery overheating are also the nail on the coffin.
