Default CV19 app phone ages

The other thread got me wondering how old are our phones? Newer than 5 years. Older than 5 years.

I'm cheap. I only replace every couple gens and I buy it outright.
I went from an iPhone 6 to an XR so my old one would not have worked.

That's impressive! My old Z10 is technically still alive, but so slow it's almost useless. My daughter used it for music up until just a few months ago.

No fixed schedule...have an iPhone X for the past few years, and unlikely to upgrade until 5G is much more real...a few years more.

usually my battery dies before my phone does, rendering it useless when you can only use it for 2 hours. , and i can never be bothered to change it so the phone goes to my phone tech grave yard.

If I manage to keep a phone with a screen intact for more than 3 years I'm ecstatic. Had 3 phones in last 5 years.

And this is why I love my BlackBerry still...end of the day I still have 50-60% left. They don't make em' like they used to.

It's likely to get replaced with a Pixel in the near future though, my work is moving to an email protocol that doesn't work with the BlackBerry.

Still not enough poll numbers but it’s trending to a modern fleet and if that holds and reflects on society generally the App will be a valuable tool in the Personal Responsibility toolbox.

You're going to risk it with one of those Huawei devices?

Lol and you trust the rest or some Questionable app? I guess you believe in 5G causing covid as well. My p20 has been the best phone I've ever had
