We know you love your devices like they’re part of the family. But let’s be honest, as much as we want to keep our trusty tech around forever, sometimes it just needs a little nudge out the door.

So, when’s the right time to wave goodbye and embrace a shiny new upgrade? Here are the factors to consider to help you decide when to upgrade your tech, and how product subscriptions make it easier for you to stay at the forefront of technology. 

Age

First things first, let’s talk about age. In the world of technology, if your device is starting to resemble your dad’s old VHS player, it might be time to reconsider your loyalty. Most tech has a lifespan; for smartphones, it's usually around two to three years before they start showing their age. Laptops? They can last a little longer, but when your machine is more “sluggish sloth” than “speedy gazelle,” you might want to check out the latest offerings.

Clinging to outdated tech can hold you back in ways you didn’t even realise. A sluggish laptop might slow down your productivity, or an outdated phone could stop you from accessing the latest apps and updates.

So if your device is taking forever to load basic functions, or if your battery drains faster than it used to, it’s a classic sign that an upgrade is on the horizon. 

Features

Ah, the sweet sound of new tech features calling your name! Every time a new phone or gadget drops, it’s like a siren song beckoning you to dive in. However, your device needs to be able to support this new technology. 

Most importantly, many new features and updates are created to enhance security. Outdated technology can leave your device vulnerable to cyber threats. Many newer tech devices come loaded with advanced encryption methods, multi-factor authentication, and automated threat detection to safeguard your sensitive information.

If your current tech doesn’t support the latest apps, upgrades, or trendy features like augmented reality (because who doesn’t want to see unicorns in their living room?), it might be time to upgrade. 

Subscription is the Way

Now listen, we get it. Upgrading ain’t cheap, and can feel like throwing money at a black hole if you’re the type who upgrades every year. But what if I told you there’s a cheeky little way around that? Enter product subscriptions. 

Don’t drop a pretty penny on new products you’ll just end up replacing in a year or two. Subscription models allow you to enjoy the newest gadgets for a fraction of the cost, with the added benefit of flexibility. 

You can even upgrade as frequently as you like – all without losing sleep over how much you’ve spent. Got your eye on the latest tablet? Go ahead, give it a whirl for a few months! If it’s a keeper, great. If not, just send it back. Simple as that.

Next time you find yourself wondering whether to upgrade, just remember: it’s all about making tech work for you – not the other way around. So don’t buy, subscribe!

Commitment is messy. Just Rentoza it.
