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
Same! Got the S9 brand new to replace a broken S7, lasted 7 years, replaced with an S23 last year. It did its job, I let it retire in peace after 3 battery replacements. Still have it in a drawer, use it as a portable media player sometimes.
