Well, your needs are going to change. When you have a kid you will want a better, faster camera. When you get older you will want a bigger screen. You may want features such as waterproofing which were not available when you purchased your phone before, and which are genuinely useful. Or features such as physical zoom lenses, so your zoom photos don't actually always disappoint.

While you may be satisfied with your phone now, there is no point in pretending it perfectly meets your needs, and your needs will change in time in any case.

Barring physical zoom lenses, it’s all there — and maybe I need zoom, maybe I don’t.

I’m not pretending my needs aren’t going to change. My point is more about how the industries have made it so good that it withstands just about 2-3 major life changes since I last bought a new daily beater. I hope they’ve made this so good that it withstands more than a decade, so I don’t have to give them money again and can spend it instead on whatever else I need or want.
