I don't even want to buy a new phone. It's been more than four years. What great productive work are most people doing on them anyway?
Yep. I run my phones in to the ground and when it's time to replace it I'll get one of the cheaper models that's been out for a year.
If I'm going to pay£1500 for the latest flag ship phone then I'd expect it to do multiple things that a £300 phone can't do but the only real difference is that the cameras not quite as good.
Not to mention things like Lineage can get even more life from old phones.
I'm running lineage os on a 7-year-old phone, and I can confirm.
