Everyone knows iPhones last longer than regular Androids. I mean obsolete because Apple decides, conveniently, when they need to appear as obsolete, or when you start using an unsupported device, even if it's perfectly useful and performant. To those people buying one phone each year I don't know what to tell you, I don't imagine they have a clue about what planet they live on.
Hot tip for you, simply stop updating your iPhone and it won’t become obsolete and will last years longer.
Androids can be flashed with a new OS or reset to factory to give them new life.
It’s the same problem as desktop PC’s, Mac users stop updating their OS after a while and windows requires a reinstall from time to time. Even the tech illiterate often understand that.
Apple did plan for their devices to be obsolete and then they tried to sell it as a feature. That's all I'm saying.
Yes that has become pretty well known and puts people off buying 2nd hand, in reality it shouldn’t put anyone off as it’s not hard to keep one going for 5+ years.
Well, as an off put people myself, I'll never know. Can't trust them.
