I’m a bit tired of making suppositions about typical iPhone life and those who use them, so I figured I’d just ask.
For myself, it’s as use-case determines but I would never keep a phone past its last major iOS update. Nor would I replace it because of wear and tear. That said, this year I’ll replace my mini 13 because I’m beginning to consolidate my photography gear. I miss my point n shoot but the convenience of the iPhone exceeds the annoyance I have with its photo quality (I still have my full kit when the mood strikes or I need/want the major quality upgrades it offers) and so I’ll be picking up a “photography” case for the iPhone Pro I end up with (Despite its afterthought status, the longer focal length appeals to me).
For those keeping iPhones past their software update windows, which do you have and why do you keep them?
