Well, the new stuff is better at making my wallet feel lighter, that's for sure. In my experience, the upgrades are often tiny things most people won't notice. You get a slightly faster chip or a camera that's a bit better in low light. Your mileage may vary, but it rarely feels like a huge jump anymore. Take that with a grain of salt from someone who just bought last year's model to save money.

So @thomas_black81, what's the actual temp and time difference you'd use?

Seems about right to me. Honestly feels like we're seeing more new cars than ever, all with those subscription features nobody asked for. The old stuff is just getting scrapped faster where I am.

Heard a similar idea in a book about survival once.

Ever notice how the best fixes get a song, @clairebaker?
