You know, not all phones are like the iPhone. There are baseline/midrange phones with more battery charge capacity than even an iPhone XS Max! And a headphone jack! And an IR blaster, even. And an OEM system which can be officially unlocked! (which might help you make the battery even more long-lasting, by keeping its state of charge well below 100%.) Yes an iPhone will have a planned time-in-service of a mere 5 years no matter what, but a modern baseline/midrange phone can be expected to last a lot more than that. (Aside from factors that can't be meaningfully planned for, such as changes in mobile network standards.)
