Nice. It is crazy how phones are basically only good for about 4 years or so. And it's a heavy investment...

I've stopped getting anything that costs more than 300 because the phones that did lasted just as long.

That's why I stopped buying from the big brand manufacturers.

So many "system updates" that come out just before the new version is announced & suddenly your device is glitchy, slow and having constant problems.

I have been buying Nokia phones ever since. They aren't the fastest, have huge storage, nor all the flashy bling of the "flagship" products but over the years I have found that I don't need them.

Hell I even have a digital audio player so I can get better quality audio in a device smaller than most phones (plus I am not paying to rent music using streaming services).

4 years? My 2 year old flagship is starting to die.

I'm just getting cheap phones from now on.
