May end up doing that. We'll see.

I also write software for these beasties, and it may well be that I won't be able to justify avoiding getting one that has Apple Intelligence.

Eventually, Apple (and 3p developers) will abandon you, and you'll need to throw away a perfectly good phone and take another step on the treadmill.

I'm still hanging on to my perfectly working iPhone 7, while app developers tell me to fuck off left and right. It does everything I want a phone to do, but developers consider "old phones" to be icky and stop supporting them.
