Look at my devices  (The 5YO Astak is hanging on by a thread  )
Once a Product niche fills, (initial ownership) sales drop off to sustain levels.
Unless there is a failure, devices don't get frequently replaced with newer models by a good number of folk. It takes a significant improvement (or forced obsolescence) to get us folk to upgrade a working device  |
I am the same way. 1st generation fire, 2nd Gen kobo, galaxy tab 4.
We recently replaced our 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport with a 2015 Ram 1500. Two reasons: more space and better gas mileage.
