Another Iphone??!!

It is rumored that the Iphone 7 will be released in 2016, it seems that every year they release a new phone, I mean why do we as the consumers want a new phone all the time? all we do is basically text, surf the web, use social networks and check the weather (sarcasm) I am sure there are other who use phones for more things than others , but is it really necessary to go and get the newest phone? I don't think so, but yet here we are consuming because that is how these companies make money. I'm not saying don't go out and get a new phone, but what I am saying is maybe you can spend your money on something else.
