    People can (rightly) shit on Apple, but my phone has been working for 5 years now, still works quite well, with only the battery life being an issue. As long as easy charging is within reach, I’m unlikely to get a new phone.

      I didn’t realize people’s phones actually broke down in less than 5 years, I thought they just upgraded because they wanted to.

      I’ve had my Sony XZ2C since 2018 and I haven’t had any issues. I’m sure the battery must have been better in the past but it easily lasts me the day, so I don’t really notice.

      New batteries are really not a big deal, and keep the phones more useful up to the end. We keep iPhones in the family about 6 years, but halfway through replace the battery and give them to the kids
