Given that a smartphone will remain in good working order, and reasonably current in terms of tech, for 2-3 years, you'd have to be a bit of a mug to pay this.

And I'm pretty rough on my tech, I imagine most people would do far better than that.

My last iPhone lasted more than six years hahaha

I didn’t even need to upgrade, but I wanted 120hz, USB-C, and better cat pics in low light. I did not realize how big of a difference it would be for cat pix. It’s wild that I don’t have to charge it every night, too!

Did you replace the battery at any point?

Nope! Original battery!
