My response to "how often do you upgrade your smartphone?"

I used to swap my phone every 2 years, but I don't anymore. I used to also flip back and forth between Android and iOS, but don't do that anymore either. Honestly, I don't care about the endless churn of devices anymore. At the end of the day, it's a phone. It makes calls and sends texts. If I want to take a photo, I'm still going to grab a camera. If I want to play a game, I'm still going to grab something like my Switch, Smart phones do everything a little, but they aren't the best at any of it. We've just gotten so used to the convenience that we're willing to put up with doing everything on a 6" screen in a very mediocre way. And that's not even going into the rampant data mining and corporate surveillance that comes with keeping a small computer with a GPS and modem in our pockets. Taking it everywhere we go and using it for everything we do.
