I used to constantly switch phones, splurging on high end handsets and then having to sell because i needed the money.

Currently have an iphone 12 pro since launch, and will almost be 3 years soon, battery health still at 88%

iPhone XS Max as my daily driver for the last 4.5 years. Zero urge to change, it's still plenty powerful enough for my needs. I might upgrade when it doesn't get updates anymore.

The battery shows its age now tho. It's at 79% capacity and tends to overheat in the summer while driving using Waze and charging at the same time. It gets quite hot even with moderate use and sometimes needs topping up just to finish the day. I've mitigated it for now by replacing the case by a skin but it's gonna need replacement soon.
