Lol bro, it took me three years before changing my phone from a Samsung S9+ to forking out $1.6k for the 1IV at launch. I'm not someone who can afford to change phones every year, and to be honest I'm not even surprised that you're replying to my complaints about the phone in this manner, given your obvious love for the brand throughout this thread.
By the way bro, I'm not dissing you, I'm just saying we probably have very different philosophies on how we spend our money on tech like mobile phones. And I don't think simply saying buying the next model discounts the fact that the 1IV is a very poor phone in many respects and quite frankly speaking, I've been shortchanged a lot for the amount that I've spent.
Wow i'm glad you observed me defending Sony.
Because i'm a fan. Why am I a fan of them?
Because they innovate and invent and create unlike many other companies. They created many world's first, even in mobile segment. ( google is your best friend as I always say)

The above link says many inventions and creations . Other companies later followed .
Smart watches first came up by sony ericsson then others follow suit , air tag by iphone . Xperia long ago had xperia tags.
They can design very well (aesthetically as well as ergonomic portion).
Talking about cooling system in a phone. They are the first to insert heat pipe and thermal paste into a phone when qualcomm produced their first heater processor. ( google the z5 ) Other companies follow suit from then onwards.
960 fps in a sensor.
Hs control application. Now many companies also follow suit , rename them.
Largest vapor chamber in a phone (expense of size) other companies follow again
Now it's the new exmor T sensor aka LYTIA. Samsung is now scrambling to make their own (google it. Latest most current news BTW).
All the phones that uses the snapdragon 8gen1 have heat issues . Even I posted the info about it when the first xiaomi used the heater processor. I did my homework and shared info about this heating processor. so the xperia 1IV surely will heat up a lot as well.
You can also argue that samsung also produce their own sensor the 100 and 200mp sensors and processor . ( But why aren't they using it on their own galaxy phone now????? Why?) BTW tensor was made by them too.
SO all these greatnes put together, made me become a huge fan of them.
Soon. The afeela .
Of course , nothing is perfect . They had their Downs too. Their marketing strategy. Their 2 android update ( but I think it's over hyped as well) As well as how they fought back to bring the company back from red line. It's not a one click button resolve everything like a game. Kudos to them.
