It's not worth it and the market doesn't actually move that fast with only 3-4 real updates per year worth knowing (which you'll hear about without much effort, like this thread) and at this point half of them don't actually have much impact.
Apple adopting a standard wireless charging standard may be cool and pan out in a few years. Imagine tossing your phone on the table at whatever coffee shop or casual restaurant of choice and getting a bit of charge out of it. No wires while you're on the go, no outlet searching, just a ubiquitous spread of surfaces to charge your devices. The tech was around years ago (Nexus 4 in 2012 was the first device I saw with it, Kia has a charging surface as an option in their cars now) but with Apple adoption it could push it more mainstream.

I remember with my 3G I held out until Apps stopped working which was only a 3-4 months after the update came out, I think that's changed over the past ~5+ years as apps strive to be backwards compatible and hardware has gotten better so yeah, I'll hold off on updates if I get an iPhone SE.
One positive to Android, they don't bother supporting devices long enough for the OS/apps to outpace the hardware!
