I used to buy Samsungs but they only seem to last about 2 years. I have an iPhone now and it is at least 6 years old. I did have to replace the battery about a year ago, which cost $60 at a nonApple repair shop. iPad also the best tablet I ever had.
A lot of people like to keep their phones forever.
I toss mine about every year or two and upgrade
When I say toss I mean pitch.
I have a love hate relationship with my phone and when I’m done all it takes is one bad move from the phone or someone irritating and BLAM!!! I will pitch that thing 90mph into a wall and go get a new version.
That’s just me though...
