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
I’m a little surprised that’s an active decision from carriers instead of whatever has compatible radios just working.
Most US carriers also sell phones (usually via payment contract) so it’s in their best interest to discontinue support for older hardware
