The only thing that's dead in all my old phones is the battery, and the outdated OS.

I've lost multiple phones to dead charging ports.

I think this varies a lot, especially for heavy commercial users who talk on their phone a lot. Only last week my sister was complaining that iphones need charging twice a day after 2 years. It doesn't affect me with my current phone, but I am a light user.
Swapping out the battery is a great improvement only if the device's lifetime is longer than the battery's, and my batteries tend to last more than three years.
(Writing this on my 5 year old phone that still has the original battery.)
