Because processors get faster, speed = age: fast = new, slow = old.
In that spirit, here is a different car analogy for you.
This is like buying a new car, and then having the odometer suddenly jump by 150,000 km: you paid for new, but are stuck with old.
Or, we could go by features. Cars get new features. Suppose you pay for a car with various bells and whistles: on-board Wi-Fi, navigation, semi-autonomous driving and whatevernot. But then most of it doesn't work, so your car is like something from 2005. Forget bluetooth; just 1/8" aux jack, or CD player.
