When the one I have breaks.

I am definitely not a typical phone user. I largely use my phone as a phone (imagine that). I'm not into texting and definitely not into using a phone with its tiny screen to browse the internet.

I used to be a US Coast Guard-licensed Captain. I ran Scuba boats for awhile and later a tour boat in the salt-water area of the Everglades National Park. During that time, I used an app to charge customer credit cards and to monitor weather in real time. That was very useful to me. In retirement, I have no use for the phone other than as a phone. I have a PC with 3 x 32" monitors plus a 55" TV as a fourth monitor. Yeah, I'm definitely a nerd.

It might be different if I was younger with better eye-sight and/or more mobile. I used to be major into hiking. I would have been highly into personal GPS had it been available during that time. As I am now, I just have little use for a phone aside from its primary function as a phone.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
