I think the brand and model makes a big difference too. Many older iPhones and Pixels still work great.

I'm still using my pixel 3a, which I bought in 2019. It is the 64 GB variant (I think base was 32 GB) and cost me $340. It's still doing its phone thing pretty well, but it can get a bit warm scrolling the modern bloated web without an ad-blocker running. I really don't see a reason to upgrade right now.

My wife has a 6a and I recently had to open it up to replace it's internal speaker that failed.

I was using a Pixel 3a up until recently too, it still works fine but I got a used 6 pro from a relative so I chucked GrapheneOS on it and started using that.
