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
At most every 3 years but only because I like new tech. I could easily keep my phone for longer which I will probably do from now on because the changes from generation to generation aren’t as dramatic for iPhones (I used Android before until last year)
I usually send in my old phone for trade in or sell it to a refurbisher or to family.
