~13 years on iPhone

iPhone4S
iPhone6S
iPhoneSE (2020)
iPhone15ProMax

About 4 years/device for the first 3.
I'd like to keep the last at least 5years. So far (1 year) battery is at 98% capacity with 168 charging cycles so it looks promising.
If I do keep it 5y, it will be about 210€/year avg.

Switching to the latest every year is just a waste IMO.

Android 14 is an extremely poor version. It is slow and power hungry / power hog. Why aren't there any power saving features in-built inside?
Will they release updates which fix the terrible Android 14 behaviour?

Recently swithed from my HMD Global Nokia G21*, to a Pixel 8a (open box deal for €300) running GrapheneOS rather smoothly.

*which I intend to keep as a music player for locally stored music, disconnected from any network once security updates dry up.

Went from a Samsung Galaxy Luna to a S20 FE as my daily driver not too long ago. My philosophy, while not unique, is that on phones, or anything related to tech in general is that "If it works, if it does everything I need it to do, if the level of performance / capability is where I want it, then its fine."

I also own a I-Phone 13 but I literally never use the thing besides as a emergency phone. I don't have anything within the apple ecosystem to justify getting a new I-phone or using said I-Phone as my daily driver, in case anyone was wondering.

iPhone 15 Plus. Been using iPhones since the 6s. I upgrade ~ every three years.
