New Hampshire Lawmaker Kills Repair Bill Because 'Cellphones Are Throwaways'

I strongly disagree. I think it would be hard to articulate why an iPhone 6s (released in 2014) which is the phone my partner has, is not usable today.

Many of my friends have phones that are currently 2-3 years old, and they work just fine.

I assume this has to do with relative income: either $1000 per year is a lot of money for you, or it’s not.

I see jdlyga's point as, iPhone 2 made iPhone 1 a throwaway, and from then on to arguably iPhone 6 where maybe phones were more alike than different on critical metrics.

On the other hand your point is that current phones don't have much different between them. I held on to my iPhone 5 for 6-7 years so I think I have even better evidence for you than your resourceful friends.

I think you two are actually in agreement
