Because you can sell your old one every six months for $500 and get paid to upgrade by people who hate contracts. I haven't paid for one since I got my first.
Although this time around, I'm pretty sure I'm going to eat the cancellation fee and switch to Verizon for LTE.

So in your life owning a phone is just another way of making money? Trading it every six months in some retarded way of bartering? Is this what phone ownership has become for you?
What a boring life you must lead, marking your calender to get a new phone.

If all it took to get up and running was to restore from a backup, would you not trade-up your PC every year for free? Or would you instead skip a few generations, willfully enduring worse performance, until your current hardware is worthless, and then pay full price out of pocket?
I'll be buying one on Friday. But not because "OMGAZ I gotta have the new iThing!", but because my phone has less than a gig of space left on it and I need the spaaaaace...

I fail to see what has you so upset.
The short answer is "No...I would not upgrade every single year just because it was free."
Not to sound like a prick, but you sound exactly like one of the throngs of brainwashed consumer whores that corporations dream about. Heaven forbid you actually *gasp* use a perfectly good phone for longer than the next release.
Jesus...so it really is nothing more than a retarded bartering method for you.
