@maxleibman I have no idea what you're talking about. My phones last 4 years, minimum. I religiously do the system updates, and they continue to work fine the entire time. I just replaced my four year old Google Pixel 4 and my work phone, a Samsung Galaxy 8 has been running like a champ since 2018. Both ran/run great the entire time. It's possible that you have a P.I.C.N.I.C. problem: Problem In Chair Not In Computer. Just because they release them, doesn't mean they need to be purchased.
