And most phones can be upgraded to a certain level software wise…

But as demands for what a phone can do software wise becomes higher, so does the hardware resources needed to support this, and as this happens, the older phones simply don’t have the resources needed. There is no way around this except asking the people making the programs for the phones, to stop making the programs more advanced, and that simply won’t happen.

Build phones that only need a software upgrade – not entirely new handset.
