Eh? I just replaced my four year old iPhone 11 Pro with a 15 Pro. The upgrade's nice, but it was a pure luxury purchase, the old phone was still running fine (mostly I wanted the 120hz display, and 5G). There was a time when a 4 year old smartphone was verging on unusable, but that's long past now.

Either I'm having bad luck with phones, or Android flagships just don't have the longevity iPhones do. I can believe the latter, as this seems to be the common belief about all Apple devices relative to competition.

What’s wrong with them after four years?

Everything gets annoyingly slow.

Most Apple devices will last 5 years without breaking much of a sweat.

My parents are running 12 year old Apple devices just fine, which blows my mind.
