You call it deferment of the problem but I call it elimination of the problem.
Yeah, a $500 phone comes with 12GB of RAM (Pixel 9).
A $150 GB phone comes with 6GB of RAM. Still quite a healthy amount and less than my last grocery bill. That’s cheaper than two iPhone battery replacements for an entire new phone.
This is before the devices have depreciated on the used/refurbished market. I can buy last year’s Pixel 8 for $230 and it has 12GB of RAM.
It’s totally fine to not want software bloat but at some point it is better economics to improve the hardware.
