Phone Upgrade 101
* Get a phone.
* Use it 'til it dies.
* Get a new one.
Ignore the hype by Apple/Google/Samsung and co.
@nixCraft I would like to add, use until it dies, fix it until the parts are not available, then recycle it. With Apple you have the added challenge of managed obsolescence with the OS, but with Android, 3rd party roms/OS it is better, I rocked a Nexis tablet (2012) until 2023, paid £99 quid for it new, done an absolute shift until it could no longer perform, I now have an Amazon tablet that cost £89 & hope to keep it going until 2030, I get about 6 years out of a phone & try to buy second hand.
