I got the S24+, and my wife got the S25+, and I swear they are the exact same phone.
The changes we are seeing year over year are minute and iterative - gone are the days of anything “revolutionary” driving you to get the latest model every year.
I literally have a laptop in my pocket, and until we can make huge leaps in battery technology (i.e. good, fast, and cheap), I don’t think we’ll be seeing a need to update our phones for 2-5 years easy.
The last time I got a new phone, they took away the 3.5mm jack. Now it’s hard to play music without Bluetooth speakers.
I only got a new phone because the battery failed and they no longer offered the old model. New models are taking away features I want to add bullshit I don’t.

I think things are reaching a plateau for technical and economic reasons.
They can always release updates to make the apps you use obsolete forcing hardware upgrade quoting security reasons
Not when you don’t use Google Play services, they can’t.
