Dont feel bad bro i still have an iphone 8 but i wont get rid of it for a long time because its fast and it actually has a home button
My rog phone 2 sucks balls after the android 10 update. Replaced it with galaxy a50 and it gets the job done for my needs, which is mostly browsing 90% of the time.

iPhone 11. December 2019. I cracked the screen immediately and have not gotten it fixed or a new one.
As long as it continues to run fine from a speed perspective, I will not buy a new one. The battery has taken a beating but for my purposes it's fine.
This is exactly why these cell phone companies have implemented planned obsolescence.
Once the phones are good enough they're going to have to make them fail intentionally otherwise their revenue streams start to dry up.

Pixel 5 here. Glad I never went to the 6 with all the bugs it had.

Google Pixel 3. I got it 3yrs ago when my Galaxy s6's battery stopped charging after 5yrs of usage. Hopefully Pixel 3 lasts me a few more years.

Aren't you a cabin fever ridden, depressed Alaskan mutt that lives a literal igloo near the Alaskan fish market? STFU already. Every one of your key strokes is as miserable as the first. Find a friend.

Do any of you still picture everyone on here typing on a desk top computer when you read posts?

I actually almost do exclusively just because of the lack of mobile support.

I've got an iPhone 11 I bought 2 1/2 years ago. Back when smartphones first came out every new release had some features that were radical improvements on the previous version, so the update cycle was much quicker. These days the improvements are much more incremental. so phones stay useful far longer.

Apple is already implementing a "lease" program where you always get the latest and greatest phone but you are constantly leasing hardware from them for this very reason.
