Or it's just gadget saturation in general. My MBP from a few years ago works great. Some of the older iPads I have at work are just fine. The iPhone 6/6+ also works just great. At some point, the marginal utility of a new device just isn't there. It is what happens as markets mature.
Smartphones in general have reached a point where we are barely wowed anymore.
I got myself a cheap xiaomi phone as a stop gap after my high end phone died. A year later, I'm still using it and have no energy to even bother looking at what else is out there.
