That I started to not care about latest tech gadgets, and I just want to use old reliable ones that just work for my use cases. In fact I still don’t understand the point of tablets, except some rare use cases, and I still prefer my desktop computer to anything else.
He got an iPhone 3G when it came out and then every year when Apple would release a new phone he HAD to have the latest one as soon as it came out.

I’ve felt the same about tablets since at least when the MacBook Air first came out⁰. I was in my early 20s. I don’t think that particular opinion has much to do with age. Tablets are a compromise device. They’re in between a phone and a computer but they’re worse than both.
