My iPhone xs is 4.5 years old and going strong.

Got a friend who upgraded from a 6s to a 13.

I dont know who upgrades every year…

Every year exactly when new one is available, I do. I just think of most devices as rentals, effectively. Sell the old, buy the new. The delta is the cost of having a new phone with fresh battery and newest features, which to me is worth it for the relatively low cost.
I did rush and buy a new iPhone for a feature i had to have once. Unfortunately it was the iPhone 4S.

Havent seen anything really enticing lately.

Do you remember the time when a new phone model was noticeably faster than last year’s? I do. Vaguely. Barely. Those times are gone.

7 plus I've for just under 7 years. one battery replacement and its mostly as new. Although there is a lack of OS support now...
