New base models won't necessarily means able to replace the top models you needed?

Don't you guys think, increase in performance on the new releases will also mean increase in new demands hence one still won't able to get the cheaper base models to do most of it unless you still do nearly the same things as years ago and because of that the bases are meant to do the current needs and the tops are meant to do the upcoming needs?

Hence if one needed a top end model now, still need to get it instead of getting and waiting for the day the base model to reach performance of the top models used to be, like you wait for a base Toyota car to reach race car performance and when it does, the world already moved on to use flying car or some sort of to race, right?

There are reasons for things to get improve and one is to progress our worlds to reach new stages or else we could just use the same thing to do the same thing isn't it?
