It's only 4 years old. There are still plenty of people using 7 year old iphones

That said, the 7 Pro was cool and I loved it, till I realized I couldn't use my bank app is I wanted a custom rom so I just gave it to my mom and got an iPhone because if I can't tinker, I don't want a platform that needs tinkering to get it just right lol

Oh, I don't disagree that people can use their iPhones for a long time. (I used to be an iPhone user, too, but prefer android.) I was just comparing my family's use (all are iPhone users - some rabidly so) and they're constantly talking to me about issues with battery, charging, what have you, and seem to get a new phone every two years at minimum.
