Apple iPhone 7 plus.
I'm still on an 8sPlus because that's the last one with touchID I hate the notion of face ID so much that this is the last upgrade I bothered with. Replaced the battery once but otherwise, still fast enough for what I need.

I need to keep this phone for as long as possible!
I have an iPhone 13 that I got in 2022. In general iPhones last a long time. For reference this is my iPhone history: *iPhone 4S: Oct., 2010 to Jan., 2013 (it died) *iPhone 5: Jan., 2013 to Aug., 2017 (the screen cracked and I fixed it but I decided I wanted something newer) *iPhone 7: Aug., 2017 to Dec., 2018 (only traded it in because an iPhone X was cheaper than the monthly payment I had on the 7; plus Apple gave me a $250 GC) *iPhone X: Dec., 2018 to June, 2022 (traded it in for an iPhone 12 which was free for 36 months; the phone was paid off but it was starting to get a little buggy) *iPhone 12: since June, 2022 (no real issues with the phone yet, which is good! I believe the phone is officially paid off this month….it was listed as a credit on my phone bill monthly as it was $0 for x months (usually 36 months IIRC). My husband had a iPhone 4S from 2010 to 2015; somehow his lasted a long time and mine was a dud. In 2015 he got an iPhone 6 and then he used that until my then 12 year old daughter needed a phone in 2018 (that phone died in early 2019). He then had his 8+ plus from 2018 to 2022 and the only reason I had him replace it then with the iPhone 12 is because I had a feeling it would be obsolete for software upgrades soon after that, and the monthly payment was less than $10/month and I didn’t want his phone dying and being stuck with a $50/month phone payment on the newest phone because he didn’t have a working trade in.

I’m sure you’ll be fine, 4 years should be a reasonable time for a $1000 electronic device to work. I had the iPhone SE for 8 years then “upgraded” to my MILs old 8+ when she got a new phone last year, never had an app I couldn’t use, camera works well. Can’t really see a reason to upgrade tech wise.

Has everything we buy reduced in quality over time? Has anything increased in quality or stayed high quality and durable?
iPhone 8 Plus checking in. I don't even remember when I bought it, but I've replaced the battery twice. And my list of functions is pretty big: email, calendar, budget app, grocery list, audiobooks, podcasts, reddit, X, YT, chatGPT, text, phone, timer, PW manager, brokers/banking. Honestly, very few of those things requires newer phone hardware. As far as I can tell, the only reason I'll eventually have to upgrade is when Apple ends support for security patches.
