Have you ever kept a phone for longer than 5 years?

Once you’ve had Mac, you don’t go back.

Not my words, the words of every MacBook Pro user in the world.

Smallman1 Once you’ve had Mac, you CAN’T go back.

Along_the_Wire

Wasily That’s a good an accurate point, but Ed’s point stands - it’s miles better

Dan

Along_the_Wire Yeah, many phones are now doing that, but after three years you might have to replace the battery. Phones are lasting much longer nowadays.

Along_the_Wire

Old-Dutch No, but lots of people do

Dan Nah, just look around - lots of people have crap old phones

Old-Dutch

Think the longest I’ve kept a phone is 3 years. My current Samsung S21 is getting towards that now. Might give this one another year

Dan

Old-Dutch This pixel jobby is nearly two years old and still in good nick. Perfect for picture taking and watching hardcore grot.

Living the dream!

My iPhone 12 mini is still going strong. I’ll replace the battery and hopefully get another 2 years out of it. I hate these giant phones, just get an ipad ffs. Anyone on a yearly upgrade cycle needs to have their head examined.

Reckon these will be useful for a few of us who must be starting to go deaf! https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2024/09/apple-introduces-airpods-4-and-a-hearing-health-experience-with-airpods-pro-2/

S23 here. Last 3 or 4 have been samsungs. Decent phones. Missus and kids all on iphones. Won’t be changing anytime soon. Got fucking tied into a 3 year deal with sky, instead of 2. Think you can upgrade after 2 years but I’d prefer to be able to bin them rather than upgrade and lock in for another 2 years.

I’m quite taken by. Google Pixels. They don’t break the bank, have all the features I want, and are obviously optimised for android. The cameras are also great for the price. Used to be a Samsung fan, but converted because of the deals available.

Was nosying at the new Google phone potentially. Love the samsungs but would give another android a try for a change.

Been using a pixel 7 for a while now. It is a good phone but it does have its problems. It easily over heats in the summer which causes the screen to dim also it’s very poor in bright light conditions. Connectivity is another problem. Seeing as I drive all over the place I need a good signal for navigation and for completing my POD’s & sending invoices. Although that could be my phone network 02. The camera I find is 50/50. Would I buy another pixel phone. Probably not unless I got a very good deal.

Old-Dutch

Had an iPhone 4 but been on Samsung ever since. Will never go back

RichM

Old-Dutch I wouldnt get an iPhone 4 now either, so good point

Old-Dutch

Haha. It’s more the Apple ecosystem. I’m out and free of those fucking chains.

Fanboys won’t ever understand
