Just don't change your phone every year. Bought a cheap Xiaomi 4 years ago and as long as it doesn't explode I'll use it forever

    Exactly.

    Phones don't age the way they used to. For most people, new phones offer little.

    If they'd learn to simply reset it when it goes wonky from installing a million things...

    I'm hard on phones from a software perspective - I do a lot of testing because I'm the family IT. I've always used 2 year old phones. My current phone is a Pixel 5 running a Lineage fork, and it works great. I'll replace it when hardware (other than screen battery) dies.
