Makes zero difference, because a phone from now will be useless by then. The OS of the time will become too much for the phone by then, the screen will the equivalent of standard vs high def, no doubt Bluetooth will change, may be other shit we’re not cosidering etc. If you dont care about functionality, guess it doesnt matter.
I want shit built to last, but thats different than trying to run old shit and it still being worth doing so.
2030 is only 7 years away, I have a One Plus 5t that still has all the functions available now, and its only the charging port and a the battery life thats starting to fail after ~6 years? Won’t the pixel 8 be getting 8 years of updates also?
Phone development seems to have slowed down significantly, from my view anyway
When my last phone died I relied on my old Nexus 5 (lineage os) and it was fine for a week. Sure I had to keep it on a charger 3-4 times a day but it would have been ok to use if I had replaced the battery.
Idk, i used my oneplus X for 7 years and ended with android 11 on the then latest patches
So a phone with out of date security and more likely to be a problem. Not a great argument. Phones like that are typically the target of most exploits.
I said then latest patches. So no, not a security problem. If i say security update, that includes the latest android security updates, from that month…

I think the good thing about phone development is stuff gets cheaper, so now you can get flagship features for the price of a midrange nowadays
We’ve hit peak smart phone, nothing is getting than much better now days.
