It's just like any other electronic device. You're phone is actually dated the day you purchase it. If Samsung, Apple, Sony... haven't started the next project by the time the current one hits the shelf, they'll get left in the dust. And the $1500-2000 they will make off of you over those two years. That helps recover the real price of the phone that you didn't pay.
