I have a iPhone SE II and a Huawei P30 and I refuse to buy newer / more expensive phones. All of needs were met when iPhone 5s came out and 99% of new features are just pointless. Unfortunately we live in a world partially thanks to Google where version 1.0 is grossly underrated.

Btw. what are those gestures you are talking about? I am pretty much a boomer when it comes to using software and my 2 year old son could show me new features of Youtube for example but I was not aware of any hidden gestures...
