I think we're just arriving at the point where upgrading is less necessary. I tried to use an iphone 3G as a loaner while I was waiting for my Nexus4 to arrive and it was so slow it was basically useless. I don't know if I had a bad one or what, but really, it was brutal, and I'm a pretty patient guy. I don't need the latest and greatest.
My Nexus4 was $350 without a contract, and now I can't imagine needing a better phone. It's responsive, looks great, feels great, functions well, now I'm happy.
Computers are the same way now too. Why upgrade?
But for people with older gen phones, the new ones are really that much better still at this point in time.
