Upgrades aren't exactly revolutionary these days. For the masses, there little difference between a 2021 and a 2023 flagship. Also everyone is skint.

im still on a flagship from 2020 and its totally fine

Yea, I mean, I'm intending to use my current phone (Samsung A52s) for at least 4 years, if not 5. I just hope Samsung won't be a pain with it over battery replacements.

I've had my S21U for 2.5 years so far. Only thing it needs is a new battery.

When the covid hit in 2020, most schools opted for online classes. People from India bought lot of phones as cost is way less compared to laptop or tablet. So the 2020 is peak.

If we have data prior to 2020, we can see the 2020 is an outlier.
