1. No idea, bought it refurbished. Same model as I’ve had for the last three years.

2. 9 months

3. Two years old.

4. ~3 years

5. Not quite 18 months.

6. Can we get polling options for stuff like this?

   I’m an American, I get a new phone whenever my battery runs out. Just kidding, my iPhone 12 is about 2.5 years old.

7. S10 I don’t know maybe 5 years? Still going strong!

8. iPhone Xr. I think I got it in 2019.

9. One is 4 years old. The other one is less than a year.

   I switch when the battery starts to degrade In taking a charge.

10. Four or five months? My last phone I had for five years but I decided it was time for an upgrade.

11. 3 years 2 months

12. About a year and a half old.

13. Almost four years. It’s an iPhone 8plus which was already an older model when I bought it.

14. Note 9, just over 4 years old.

15. 1-2 years old. The last one was super slow and had to be recharged in the middle of the day.

16. My current cell phone, an iPhone 8, I purchased refurbished in late 2018.

    But I also have desk phones ranging back to 1957 and even circa 1930.

17. 1 year.

18. iPhone XR, so 4.5 years old. Starting to lock up and slow down, so time for a replacement; 5 years seems to be par for the course with phones nowadays.

19. 4-5 years.

20. Almost 2 years old. Currently have a Samsung S21+ but I’ve been eyeballing the S22 Ultra for months

21. 4 years, can’t run many apps anymore, so I have to run website versions of Amazon and instacart my bank etc

    Other than that it has been very reliable for a $49 Samsung phone lol

22. 4 months. I got this one after my 6 year old phone died

23. 10-11 months, s22

24. About a week old. The one I replaced was 4 years old

25. Oh, four months now. Google was offering ludicrous trade in value back in the fall so I jumped on it.

26. 5 years. I LOATHE getting new phones.

27. Pixel 6a bought in August 2022 after the moto Z3 battery died(which was a 1 year old refurbished replacement). I hadn’t paid for a new phone since 2015, got tired of free replacements that lasted less than 2 years

28. About 2 years old.

    I generally use my phones until I can’t. One old smartphone I gave up on after a few years because the battery couldn’t hold a charge anymore. Every other phone has lasted until they stopped doing OS updates for it and an app I need, like my mobile banking app, wouldn’t work with the older OS my phone ran on.

29. 4 years. We are planning on new phones this year.

30. 2.5 years. Pixel 4a, I ordered prerelease. Starting to think about replacing it, maybe this spring/summer.

31. I got an iphone11 and before that had the 6. Almost doubled my iPhone. Plan to try doing the same with this.

32. I have a cracked iPhone 8 I’ve been using for five or six years. I don’t like giving Apple money but I’ll probably be forced to buy a new one soon.

33. About a year old. I have the Samsung Galaxy S22.

34. 5-6 years old. But I did put a new battery in it.

35. Little over three years. I got it the Christmas before Covid.

36. Just over a year old. Got it last January (iPhone 13).

    Traded my broken iPhone 8+ in.

37. Pixel 5, so, about three years?

38. Pixel 3, so…. 4 years I think.

39. At the very least, 3 years old. But I think it’s really 4-5 years old.

40. July of 22. It’s s S22.

41. Moto z2 Force, about 4 or 5 years old. It’s a pretty solid phone. I’ve dropped it very often for the whole time I’ve had it, and it barely has a scratch or any damage. And it still works great. It can still run any app I’ve thrown at it. And the battery still lasts a long time.

42. A month. iPhone 14 Pro Max. I typically get a new phone once every 3 years.

43. Whenever the s10 came out, i got it secondhand lol

44. 5 years. Pixel 2 is still going strong.

45. My phone is from 2017

46. iPhone X, its 6 years old but I bought it secondhand more like 4 years ish ago I think. Still good! My charge port likes to get cluttered with stuff often and it makes charging annoying.

47. 70 years (1950s rotary dial with dial-out chip added). Oh, you meant my pocket computer… that’s about 4 years old and working fine.

48. 6 years. Galaxy S8. I refuse to get a new phone that does not have a headphone jack *and* SD card slot. My S8 still works. I will hold out for as long as I can.
