If we're talking anecdata, my original Samsung Galaxy Note (I think the first dual-core smartphone?) still does fine, whereas my iPhones from that period (4, 4S, 5) are all unusable now, in spite of replacing batteries in them (sometimes - several times). The most annoying was the failure of the Home button and, in the 5, the lightning socket.

But all this does not matter much. What's important for me is that if I wanted, I could still develop apps for the Galaxy Note, whereas it's practically impossible to develop apps for discontinued iPhones, even if they continue to work perfectly fine.
