Asking because… On one hand I do see smartphones being released left-and-right, and they are rather integral to modern life
On the other hand I’m still chugging alone with my Pixel 6a that I bought 3 years ago with a replaced battery and a somewhat clogged charging port… and all my previous phones I only replaced when they have serious deficits that make them difficult to use
Wondering when you all replace phones. Please definitely mention it too if you ended up repurposing the old phone for something else
When I was a poor teenager it was about 3 years before it became unusable. Now that I know how to find good second hand models and can afford better quality it’s more like 6 years before I feel the device is kind of inadequate.
