I don't think buying a new phone is a waste if you plan on keeping it for several years. I still have an iPhone 5s that I bought new 5 years ago. When they were cheaper, upgrading annually made sense too because the scale of innovation was more rapid.
Nowadays, the innovations are less significant and the price has gone up. So, buying a new one and keeping it for 4+ years, like you would with most electronics makes sense to me.
This is basically this guy's gripe.
Charging a lot for a step back.
