My upgrade schedule is about 7–8 years. iPhones do “just work” for that long.
i am withing this from my 2018 Huawei : Hello !
I tried using and old iPhone. You can't install anything on it. If you go to the app store, it won't tell you which apps are compatible. It'll just download the app, and then show you error.
Android is better at this, apps generally support old versions for longer, and the play store is better at showing compatible apps.
It might simply be my my use patterns but in my experience they tend to require a battery replacement in that time. Apple charged so much for the replacements it's often not really worth it unless you get some guy in a strip mall to do it
