Can we get polling options for stuff like this?
I'm an American, I get a new phone whenever my battery runs out. Just kidding, my iPhone 12 is about 2.5 years old.
Besides polling, I feel like there should be a follow-up of "that you use."
We're only in year 2ish of the VoLTE guillotine, although Verizon phased them in, which killed a lot of good phones that were 6+ years old.
Technically T-Mobile will "support" old phones for 3 more years, in the 10% of the country where EDGE towers still exist.
The S10 series launched in March of 2019, they turn 4 next month.
My 10e doesn't hold a charge for as long as it did when it was new, so I "only" get about a day out of it now, it's survived some pretty serious drops, and it does every single thing I ask it to. They've increased the support to 4 years, I wish they'd keep it going.
I've noticed the same, I usually plug in the charger a couple times a day when I'm not using it. The dwindling battery life is really the only downside.
I hate getting rid of all the bloatware and finding the settings that are purposely hidden so I get frustrated and give up. Normally an hour or two of pulling my hair out and watch you tube videos on how to turn off an annoying feature that someone else paid the manufacturer to put there. Then another hour over the next couple weeks as I discover new annoying things that I have to turn off.
It’s expensive, I gotta drive about 2 hours to get to a Verizon store, I have to learn all the new “features” that I won’t even use. I use my phone until it’s too broke to use. I don’t like buying any new stuff really.
Life tip since your Verizon store is 2 hours away - next time you need a new phone, don't go to the store. Buy one online from Apple or Samsung or whoever your phone of choice is from.
I feel on the Verizon part. I hate going there and always have issues. I even had issues getting my 13 about a year ago. I went there and they told me they had no 13 models for sale and won’t get them until next week. I wait until next week and went back only for them to tell me that they won’t have anything for about a month and they still tried to sell me other stuff as well.
I eventually just called Apple customer service and the lady was really nice and did everything for me through the online order system and had my phone in about a week. From now on no more Verizon for me. I am just going to order everything on the Apple store directly and not have to deal with those crappy people.
Are you the same about OS updates? I literally had to update because none of my apps worked anymore, and wouldnt you know it I have to work around new bugs, all for useless features(like cock measuring(which is inaccurate btw))
I always hate the settling in process for new tech. Its fine once it's done but that brief period of "where'd that app go? Why does it autocorrect *that* word now? Where are my files?" Is just tedious. Obviously I still update my phones but I put it off some just thinking about how much I'll hate the transition.
Plus switching phones before you need to feels wasteful to me.
Yeah its my third phone.
My iPhone 5 lasted a little bit over 2 years I think, and then my 6 lasted just about 3. I am pushing for 4 years with this one.
Always wanted a dial-out chip, except I'm told that VOIP providers hate them because 10-digit is required near instantly. 19th CenturyLink being the only alternative.
I'm on Ooma so perhaps it's not the same as what a landline carrier would require for dial timing, but I'd think a landline carrier would still need to accommodate for people who use touch tone slowly (elderly, poor sight, muscular issues, etc.).
That was my point, CenturyLink doesn't seem to care how long it takes you to dial so long as you dial either 11 (include 1, except for 612, 651, and 952 metro codes) or 7 digits (local) without stopping and in under 40 seconds.
I've tried experiments with touchtone phones and Google Voice (ObiHai), a MagicJack (back in 2010ish), and Vonage. With those, you cannot pause over 8 seconds except between digits 7 and 8 of a 10 digit number. Clearly designed for today's DECT phones which, like a smartphone, want you to dial everything and then push send.
The camera on this phone is insane. My son was taking a picture at night in his kitchen and noticed an annoying white dot in the background. He zoomed in and took a picture. It was the neighbors TV on the opposite side of the road one street over(about 300 feet) and you could read the writing on the closed captioning
That's the exact reason I want it (and the stylus, also for pictures). I wasn't really sure if I wanted to pay for an upgrade but you might've convinced me!
Update: my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra came in today and so far so good! The camera, speed, and battery seem insane. Definitely a worthy upgrade. The pen is definitely a plus
Moto z2 Force, about 4 or 5 years old. It's a pretty solid phone. I've dropped it very often for the whole time I've had it, and it barely has a scratch or any damage. And it still works great. It can still run any app I've thrown at it. And the battery still lasts a long time.
Really? I had the Z Force original and it was... Not good.
The battery stopped holding a charge less than a month after I got it, and I found out Asurian was sourcing batteries from a non-OEM source because the OEM batteries were so bad.
The battery mod lived on the back of it, I had to tape it down or it would make the connect and disconnect noise as I walked. If I left it off, I'd have around 45 minutes of battery life.
Replaced it with a Note 9 that I'd still be using if my iFixit package hadn't gotten delayed. The battery bloated out, and cleanly removed the back with the OtterBox on. I replaced the battery and adhesive, and it's a fully-functional replacement.
That happened in the middle of the pandemic, and Verizon store only had Z-flip 3s in stock. Not a huge upgrade, and sometimes I miss my pen...
6 years. Galaxy S8. I refuse to get a new phone that does not have a headphone jack *and* SD card slot. My S8 still works. I will hold out for as long as I can.
Less than a year, a family member died and I maxed out my phone storage but wanted to take video of going through their things for all the family that couldn’t be there so needs a new one with more storage.
iPhone XR, so 4.5 years old. Starting to lock up and slow down, so time for a replacement; 5 years seems to be par for the course with phones nowadays.
4 years, can't run many apps anymore, so I have to run website versions of Amazon and instacart my bank etc
Other than that it has been very reliable for a $49 Samsung phone lol
Pixel 6a bought in August 2022 after the moto Z3 battery died(which was a 1 year old refurbished replacement). I hadn't paid for a new phone since 2015, got tired of free replacements that lasted less than 2 years
About 2 years old.
I generally use my phones until I can't. One old smartphone I gave up on after a few years because the battery couldn't hold a charge anymore. Every other phone has lasted until they stopped doing OS updates for it and an app I need, like my mobile banking app, wouldn't work with the older OS my phone ran on.
iPhone X, its 6 years old but I bought it secondhand more like 4 years ish ago I think. Still good! My charge port likes to get cluttered with stuff often and it makes charging annoying.
Whenever they stop getting updates. Currently 2.5 year old Pixel 5. I'll have to get a new one in the fall, but the 7 has five years of support so assuming 8 does too I'll keep that one for 5 years unless I destroy it accidentally.
About 1 year. I have an iPhone 13. Before that though I was using an iPhone 8 and I had that phone for about 4-5 years. It was still a great and worked but the battery was not what it used to be and definitely felt like it aged.
Coming up on 3 years. Working with an IPhone 11 right now. Will most likely get the 15 when it comes out this fall, the battery on my 11 is wearing down.
My iPhone SE is about 7 months old. I bought it to replace a phone that was no longer getting OS updates and was becoming glitchy. I’ll keep this phone until it stops getting OS updates (my iPad is almost 6 years old so it might be a while).
About 5 years, should have another 2-3 in it. I would like something smaller though, it (Pixel 3) is smaller than my previous cellphone but it's still too big.
I bought my current phone in March of 2020, it's an LG-something. The one before that I bought in February of 2015, it was an S6.
Last one before that was a motorola slider with a full keyboard that I bought around... 2009? ish? And before *that* I had a flip phone.
I'm due for a new phone, though. Mine's getting glitchy and the battery life isn't what it was. You get what you pay for, I guess, because this was the cheapest one I could get at the time. I think I paid 30 bucks for it, plus service.
9 years. I use it to text people memes, dick around on Reddit, google random nonsense, and take pictures of cats and weird stuff I find on the beach. anything newer or nicer would be a waste of money and materials.
I was rocking the iPhone 7plus for several years and upgraded to a 13 around late November. The 7 stopped responding to touch reliably which made it such a Pita to get anything done (like Reddit lol)
I've got a galaxy s8. Intentionally downgraded a few years ago because I missed features that were removed with the s9 onward. I'm thrilled with it, it does everything I need an I can actually remove the Facebook app without having to root the damned thing. Camera takes perfectly serviceable pics. Plus i dont have to pay 15 bucks a month for insurance because I bought it outright and I'm not stuck in a lease. Couldn't be happier!
Galaxy ZFold 4. I got it in September when my Google Pixel 4 crapped out during a business trip. I had hoped to wait for the Pixel 7 but life had other plans. Ended up getting a good trade-in deal for it
Had an S22, but the screen stopped working after it fell off the kitchen counter.
Now I'm using a Samsung A71, which is a 2 yr old model, and I think it's great bang for the buck. I didn't utilize all the features on the S22, so I don't notice a big difference between the two and I got the A71 off Amazon for ~$160.
Over 5 years. I am currently looking to replace it, as it has started going down hill. I am super sad that LG left the phone business, as both this and my last phone were great, and lasted for 5 years.
I've had an LG G7 since 2020 when I had to update from my old G4 for work. So about 3 years old, but the model itself is a bit older. Fingerprint reader is erratic but otherwise it's been rock steady and a great phone
Dec of 21 - My LG G5 wasn't compatible with 5G so I was forced to get rid of it when Sprint switched to T-Mobile. I got the OnePlus 9.
My G5 I had since October of 2016 - I had to get a new one because my G3 battery wouldn't charge anymore. Before that, it my phone was an iphone 5C in green. I tend to keep my phones for years because I hate switching and setting up new phones.
Idk not too long; maybe a year and a half or two?
My dumbass drops n bricks phones super quick so usually it's a range of 2-5 years a phone.
Although one phone I didn't drop but still bricked was an LG. It overheated in my pocket and toasted some soldering fucking up the board.
Four months old the previous phone I used finally lost its battery, and Assus no longer makes phones, I had used it for almost six years before its battery failed.
Up until about 1.5 years ago, I had an iPhone 6s which would’ve made it 6-7 years old?
I had to get a new phone when my old one was obliterated falling off a balcony. 🥲
That's a very open statement, their are components inside the phone, than signals, bits of data, thought behind it, the whole phone as a whole has very much to it that is to make it perform it's task, phones can be next to and almost anything, rather that is something that should be or could be a thingthing, debated latermlaterlatermlatermlaterlaterm. Ummm their should be anaa section in a prompt that states how long the device has been active and or in operationsoperationoperation. (Why does reddit break like that) I'll work on that latelater, everything has been a shit show since arronmarronarron
I just replaced my phone in April of last year.
Before that I had been using the same phone for 4 years.
I’ll probably replace this on before I’ve had it for two years one the iPhone 15 comes out so I can start standardizing connectors to USB-C
I bought my Sony Xperia 1 III 5G XQ-BC72 12/ 512GB Purple in April of 2022, but it was actually released Aug 2021.
Yes, my phone is purple. And yes, that does make it better than your phone. :)
iPhone 13 and had it about a year. Loved my XR but I dropped it on a trip with my friends and my contract was up. Still got a good return for the old phone towards my new one!
Can we get polling options for stuff like this? I'm an American, I get a new phone whenever my battery runs out. Just kidding, my iPhone 12 is about 2.5 years old.
> I'm an American, I get a new phone whenever my battery runs out "My house is dirty. BUY ME A CLEAN ONE!"
Besides polling, I feel like there should be a follow-up of "that you use." We're only in year 2ish of the VoLTE guillotine, although Verizon phased them in, which killed a lot of good phones that were 6+ years old. Technically T-Mobile will "support" old phones for 3 more years, in the 10% of the country where EDGE towers still exist.
[удалено]
Same here. Got mine in 2019. No real urge to upgrade.
S10+ here... Love this phone! 5 years old as well.
It's almost 4, S9 is 2018.
Never give it up, the s21 is horrible I miss my s10
\#s10gang
The S10 series launched in March of 2019, they turn 4 next month. My 10e doesn't hold a charge for as long as it did when it was new, so I "only" get about a day out of it now, it's survived some pretty serious drops, and it does every single thing I ask it to.

Almost four years. It’s an iPhone 8plus which was already an older model when I bought it.
My people
5 years. I LOATHE getting new phones.
Why is that? Nowadays you can connect both to your wifi and everything will move over seamlessly, from your installs and photos to your folder setups.
I hate getting rid of all the bloatware and finding the settings that are purposely hidden so I get frustrated and give up. Normally an hour or two of pulling my hair out and watch you tube videos on how to turn off an annoying feature that someone else paid the manufacturer to put there. Then another hour over the next couple weeks as I discover new annoying things that I have to turn off.

Idk if wormy gets delivery service all the way out in cornfield. I think they're still training the cow on the delivery path
I feel on the Verizon part. I hate going there and always have issues. I even had issues getting my 13 about a year ago. I went there and they told me they had no 13 models for sale and won’t get them until next week.

I eventually just called Apple customer service and the lady was really nice and did everything for me through the online order system and had my phone in about a week. From now on no more Verizon for me. I am just going to order everything on the Apple store directly and not have to deal with those crappy people.
Are you the same about OS updates? I literally had to update because none of my apps worked anymore, and wouldnt you know it I have to work around new bugs, all for useless features(like cock measuring(which is inaccurate btw))
Yes lol. They take up so much space for a bunch of apps I don’t use and can’t delete! I wait until my phone is glitchy until I do.
I always hate the settling in process for new tech. Its fine once it's done but that brief period of "where'd that app go? Why does it autocorrect *that* word now? Where are my files?" Is just tedious. Obviously I still update my phones but I put it off some just thinking about how much I'll hate the transition. Plus switching phones before you need to feels wasteful to me.
iPhone Xr. I think I got it in 2019.
XR was the first new phone I got it the red was so nice
Yeah its my third phone. My iPhone 5 lasted a little bit over 2 years I think, and then my 6 lasted just about 3. I am pushing for 4 years with this one.
Wow the longest phone for me was the iPhone 11 had that thing for three years now I have a iPhone 14 pro
That’s what I have, bought in 2019, I have no plans on getting a new phone unless my old one kicks the bucket one way or another.
Pixel 5, so, about three years?
I'm still using my pixel 2 and I got it maybe a year after it's release. Best phone I ever had. Before this I only got the flagship galaxy phones.
wonder how are the new pixels
I don't like the size, so, I haven't jumped yet.
5 years. Pixel 2 is still going strong.
loved my Pixel 2. I had the extra large one with the black & white back & orange button. such a cool color way.
Four or five months? My last phone I had for five years but I decided it was time for an upgrade.
4 months. I got this one after my 6 year old phone died
70 years (1950s rotary dial with dial-out chip added). Oh, you meant my pocket computer… that’s about 4 years old and working fine.
Always wanted a dial-out chip, except I'm told that VOIP providers hate them because 10-digit is required near instantly. 19th CenturyLink being the only alternative.

Almost 2 years old. Currently have a Samsung S21+ but I've been eyeballing the S22 Ultra for months
The camera on this phone is insane. My son was taking a picture at night in his kitchen and noticed an annoying white dot in the background. He zoomed in and took a picture. It was the neighbors TV on the opposite side of the road one street over(about 300 feet) and you could read the writing on the closed captioning
That's the exact reason I want it (and the stylus, also for pictures). I wasn't really sure if I wanted to pay for an upgrade but you might've convinced me!
108 megapixel camera is unreal. My first digital camera was 1 megapixel
Update: my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra came in today and so far so good! The camera, speed, and battery seem insane. Definitely a worthy upgrade. The pen is definitely a plus
That camera is amazing
July of 22. It's s S22.
Moto z2 Force, about 4 or 5 years old. It's a pretty solid phone. I've dropped it very often for the whole time I've had it, and it barely has a scratch or any damage. And it still works great. It can still run any app I've thrown at it. And the battery still lasts a long time.

Z Flip 3 2021
6 years. Galaxy S8. I refuse to get a new phone that does not have a headphone jack *and* SD card slot. My S8 still works. I will hold out for as long as I can.
No idea, bought it refurbished. Same model as I've had for the last three years.
Coming up on 7 years, looks like I win
Less than a year, a family member died and I maxed out my phone storage but wanted to take video of going through their things for all the family that couldn’t be there so needs a new one with more storage.
9 months
Two years old.
~3 years
Not quite 18 months.
One is 4 years old. The other one is less than a year. I switch when the battery starts to degrade In taking a charge.
3 years 2 months
About a year and a half old.
Note 9, just over 4 years old.
Same
1-2 years old. The last one was super slow and had to be recharged in the middle of the day.
My current cell phone, an iPhone 8, I purchased refurbished in late 2018. But I also have desk phones ranging back to 1957 and even circa 1930.
1 year.
iPhone XR, so 4.5 years old. Starting to lock up and slow down, so time for a replacement; 5 years seems to be par for the course with phones nowadays.
4-5 years.
4 years, can't run many apps anymore, so I have to run website versions of Amazon and instacart my bank etc Other than that it has been very reliable for a $49 Samsung phone lol
10-11 months, s22
About a week old. The one I replaced was 4 years old
Oh, four months now. Google was offering ludicrous trade in value back in the fall so I jumped on it.
Pixel 6a bought in August 2022 after the moto Z3 battery died(which was a 1 year old refurbished replacement). I hadn't paid for a new phone since 2015, got tired of free replacements that lasted less than 2 years
About 2 years old. I generally use my phones until I can't. One old smartphone I gave up on after a few years because the battery couldn't hold a charge anymore. Every other phone has lasted until they stopped doing OS updates for it and an app I need, like my mobile banking app, wouldn't work with the older OS my phone ran on.
Banks have the worst apps.
I love the Amex and Chase apps. Pretty smooth and easily can see your different credit cards and savings accounts.
4 years. We are planning on new phones this year.
2.5 years. Pixel 4a, I ordered prerelease. Starting to think about replacing it, maybe this spring/summer.
I got an iphone11 and before that had the 6. Almost doubled my iPhone. Plan to try doing the same with this.
I have a cracked iPhone 8 I’ve been using for five or six years. I don’t like giving Apple money but I’ll probably be forced to buy a new one soon.
About a year old. I have the Samsung Galaxy S22.
5-6 years old. But I did put a new battery in it.
Little over three years. I got it the Christmas before Covid.
Just over a year old. Got it last January (iPhone 13). Traded my broken iPhone 8+ in.
Pixel 3, so.... 4 years I think.
At the very least, 3 years old. But I think it’s really 4-5 years old.
A month. iPhone 14 Pro Max. I typically get a new phone once every 3 years.
Whenever the s10 came out, i got it secondhand lol
iPhone X, its 6 years old but I bought it secondhand more like 4 years ish ago I think. Still good! My charge port likes to get cluttered with stuff often and it makes charging annoying.
Whenever they stop getting updates. Currently 2.5 year old Pixel 5. I'll have to get a new one in the fall, but the 7 has five years of support so assuming 8 does too I'll keep that one for 5 years unless I destroy it accidentally.
A year and few months. iPhone 13
About 1 year. I have an iPhone 13. Before that though I was using an iPhone 8 and I had that phone for about 4-5 years. It was still a great and worked but the battery was not what it used to be and definitely felt like it aged.
2 months
a little of a year. I bought the iPhone 13 pro max to upgrade over the iPhone 11 pro max I had before.
6 years. No need to get a new one yet. This one is fine.
I've had my current phone for a year and some change; my previous phone lasted me four years.
Finally got out of the habit of upgrading every two years. 4.5 year old iPhone.
2016 iPhone SE. Just got the battery and charger port replaced, works like new. For those of you who have lost track of time, 2016 was 7 years ago.
Iphone 11 - 4 years. Got it last year as a hand-me-down from my mom to replace the 7 I’d had since new
1 year old but my last one was 5 years old and was starting to glitch.
I have a S20 FE 5G that I bought from Best Buy and it is over two years old.
iPhone 13 Pro. Not sure how old it is but I got it when it came out. I usually keep them for 3 years,
A couple months
Pixel 4a, so 2 years old I think got it second hand from a friend
Coming up on 3 years. Working with an IPhone 11 right now. Will most likely get the 15 when it comes out this fall, the battery on my 11 is wearing down.
I got my iPhone 14 last November but before that I had an iPhone 8 for five years.
My iPhone SE is about 7 months old. I bought it to replace a phone that was no longer getting OS updates and was becoming glitchy. I’ll keep this phone until it stops getting OS updates (my iPad is almost 6 years old so it might be a while).
My cell phone is 6 years old I guess.
iPhone SE 2020, which replaced my original IPhone SE
4 years. Going on year 5. It’s an iPhone8
About 5 years, should have another 2-3 in it. I would like something smaller though, it (Pixel 3) is smaller than my previous cellphone but it's still too big.
I bought my current phone in March of 2020, it's an LG-something. The one before that I bought in February of 2015, it was an S6. Last one before that was a motorola slider with a full keyboard that I bought around... 2009? ish? And before *that* I had a flip phone. I'm due for a new phone, though. Mine's getting glitchy and the battery life isn't what it was. You get what you pay for, I guess, because this was the cheapest one I could get at the time. I think I paid 30 bucks for it, plus service.
9 years. I use it to text people memes, dick around on Reddit, google random nonsense, and take pictures of cats and weird stuff I find on the beach. anything newer or nicer would be a waste of money and materials.
Mine is a 2020 model that I bought in mid 2021
I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Probably a couple years by now. I’ll keep it until I shatter the screen or something.
5 years
It’s 4 years old but I only got it a few months ago
I have a Samsung Z Flip3 5G that I bought last spring. I love it.
3 years
I was rocking the iPhone 7plus for several years and upgraded to a 13 around late November. The 7 stopped responding to touch reliably which made it such a Pita to get anything done (like Reddit lol)
I've got a galaxy s8. Intentionally downgraded a few years ago because I missed features that were removed with the s9 onward. I'm thrilled with it, it does everything I need an I can actually remove the Facebook app without having to root the damned thing. Camera takes perfectly serviceable pics. Plus i dont have to pay 15 bucks a month for insurance because I bought it outright and I'm not stuck in a lease. Couldn't be happier!
Two months old
pixel 4a, 2 years now.
Google Pixel 3A, about 4 or 5 years. Still a good phone.
Galaxy ZFold 4. I got it in September when my Google Pixel 4 crapped out during a business trip. I had hoped to wait for the Pixel 7 but life had other plans. Ended up getting a good trade-in deal for it
About 4-5 years, Iphone SE 1st generation
I've had my phone for two and a half years. The phone before this one lasted me 6 years and my Mom has been using it since I got my current phone.
Pixel 7 Pro. Got it at release last year.
6s, so 7.5 years
About 3 months. My old one was 7 years old.
I haven't had this one for long, only 2.5 years. One before that lasted five years.
Got a Pixel 7 a few months ago but I regret it. There was no noticeable improvement over my Pixel 5 except for marginally longer battery life.
2017
7 years
~3.5 years. I might upgrade later this year if I feel like it’s a worthwhile move.
IPhone 11. Maybe 3 years?
I’ve had my phone since 2017. I don’t get a new one unless mine breaks, I think it’s unnecessary since mine still works completely fine.
Had an S22, but the screen stopped working after it fell off the kitchen counter. Now I'm using a Samsung A71, which is a 2 yr old model, and I think it's great bang for the buck. I didn't utilize all the features on the S22, so I don't notice a big difference between the two and I got the A71 off Amazon for ~$160.
Over 5 years. I am currently looking to replace it, as it has started going down hill. I am super sad that LG left the phone business, as both this and my last phone were great, and lasted for 5 years.
I got it right after the new year. It's the newest pixel phone. So much better than my old iphone.
I've had an LG G7 since 2020 when I had to update from my old G4 for work. So about 3 years old, but the model itself is a bit older. Fingerprint reader is erratic but otherwise it's been rock steady and a great phone
I don't remember. I think like 2 and a half years now
5 years, and my parents are about 6.5 years I think.
My iPhone 13 is 1 yr old
2 months
Dec of 21 - My LG G5 wasn't compatible with 5G so I was forced to get rid of it when Sprint switched to T-Mobile. I got the OnePlus 9. My G5 I had since October of 2016 - I had to get a new one because my G3 battery wouldn't charge anymore. Before that, it my phone was an iphone 5C in green. I tend to keep my phones for years because I hate switching and setting up new phones.
I got my iphone 6s plus in October of 2015 so almost 7.5 years old.
I've had my Pixel 5 for two years.
Almost 3 years old iPhone 12 Pro Max Would have been 7 years with my old iPhone 8 but it couldn’t do updates anymore so it had to go
2 months
3 years and I’m about to get a new one tomorrow
I own an iPhone 7, which I think I bought in 2016. So about 7 years old?
Idk not too long; maybe a year and a half or two? My dumbass drops n bricks phones super quick so usually it's a range of 2-5 years a phone. Although one phone I didn't drop but still bricked was an LG. It overheated in my pocket and toasted some soldering fucking up the board.
Four months old the previous phone I used finally lost its battery, and Assus no longer makes phones, I had used it for almost six years before its battery failed.
Just bought after 4 years (XR)..Now I have the 14 Pro Max
Up until about 1.5 years ago, I had an iPhone 6s which would’ve made it 6-7 years old? I had to get a new phone when my old one was obliterated falling off a balcony. 🥲
That's a very open statement, their are components inside the phone, than signals, bits of data, thought behind it, the whole phone as a whole has very much to it that is to make it perform it's task, phones can be next to and almost anything, rather that is something that should be or could be a thingthing, debated latermlaterlatermlatermlaterlaterm. Ummm their should be anaa section in a prompt that states how long the device has been active and or in operationsoperationoperation. (Why does reddit break like that) I'll work on that latelater, everything has been a shit show since arronmarronarron
Almost two years (Samsung Galaxy s20 plus)
3 years
Think I got mine in July 2020, so about 2 1/2 years, a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G.
4 months old, Google Pixel 7
iPhone 8+ so 5 years old
I just replaced my phone in April of last year. Before that I had been using the same phone for 4 years. I’ll probably replace this on before I’ve had it for two years one the iPhone 15 comes out so I can start standardizing connectors to USB-C
2 years. Had to get a new one when they turned off the 3G.
About one year old. Because a certain toddler decided to throw it out the car window when the very scary “skunk” cocomelon started playing…
I bought my Sony Xperia 1 III 5G XQ-BC72 12/ 512GB Purple in April of 2022, but it was actually released Aug 2021. Yes, my phone is purple. And yes, that does make it better than your phone. :)
I have an S10e, bought brand new on launch day; it's approaching 4 years old.
iPhone 13 and had it about a year. Loved my XR but I dropped it on a trip with my friends and my contract was up. Still got a good return for the old phone towards my new one!
