For 99 percent of average population there is no need to overpay and have "the best". People do due to marketing brainwashing.
I agree with you.

I have a Galaxy S5 and it has been giving me some problems... So I went and looked at new phones. They cost $600 and up, and frankly don't do anything the phone I already have does.

Instead I went to a local repair shop. I bought a new phone case (my phone is old so they are cheap!) and a new battery, and did a complete reboot to factory specs. I downloaded the APPs I used the most, a new background.... And frankly it's just like having a brand new phone.

You can say the same with computers. My computer is now five years old, but frankly it's still as fast as the newest ones on the market. Instead of buying a new one I might just add in a SSD and be done with it.
