For phones after about 9 months they drop in price as a release of a new model each year is expected. Older models are sometimes still on sale for years at an only slightly lower price point and they are almost as good as the latest ones. There isn't a lot of scope for improvements in modern phones.

I agree. The only reason why I'll need to upgrade mine at some point is to obtain more LTE frequency bands. Obviously, this can't be achieved with software updates alone. Also, this is less relevant for people who don't travel internationally, although the use of former analogue television spectrum by mobile networks provides another motivation if your carrier purchased an allocation.
