Let's be real, how many people keep phones passed their 1-2 year upgrade cycle? I'm coming up on 4 years a my android, and outside of me dropping it in a pool it's worked well! I'm finally ready to upgrade tho since it's still funky ever since then. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago I usually upgrade every 6 to 7 years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 1 point 6 months ago iPhones are premium, whether you like Apple or not.
