40 months is just 3y 4mo. Do people get new phones every two years or something? I usually just get a new one when my old one’s not working for me anymore.
Yeah, some people get a new phone every year or so. I know a guy who trades in his “old” phone for a brand new model every few months. He doesn’t really trade though,he just resells. It only costs him like 200 or 300 euro, if you factor in the resell. For him that’s worth it, aparantly.
My last phone broke after about 1.5 years of me using it (and it was already a refurbished device), and my current relatively new-to-me phone only has 2 years of security updates left (also refurbished). I’m probably going to use it for longer than that if it doesn’t break, but that would definitely be a good time to get a new phone if money was no object and I didn’t give a shit about the environment.

The not easily replaceable battery shortened that time for a lot of users.
