I’m certainly not saying you can only choose reliability or durability. I don’t think there’s a fundamental exclusivity between them. But practically, I don’t know of a phone that does both.
Certainly some old phones will work. And likely even still work as a phone. My point was that iPhones are more likely to still run and be useful based on their market price. The Nexus 5X price isn’t zero, someone still uses them. But it’s lower.
It’s cool your Nokia works as a podcast player. Does it work as a phone? I loved my old Nokia, but never found them effective enough as a smart phone. But my feature phone from 2004 still boots up and I can play the snake game I bought.
