Last phone I bought was 3 years ago I think, and it was still the business model of "you're getting a 2 year contract? Sweet, here's this discounted new phone." Now that business model is gone and I'm not cool with either spending $900 outright or setting up payment plans.
But I do need a new phone this fall, my current windows phone screen only comes on if you double press buttons, and now my banking and travel apps (bank, uber, airline apps) aren't supported. Hopefully Verizon will have some good deals on iPhone 7's or Androids before the end of the year.
4 years - iPhone 4 (s, maybe? can't remember)
3 years - Windows Phone Lumia IconMFC

my favorite phone in the past half decade was the note 7, then it got recalled and now im stuck with a iphone 7+. and im stuck with this monster for another year.
literally the best thing about the iphone is that it works well with the Air Pods. The rest of it works exactly like the Iphone 4S did 6 years ago.IW3725-04, Black 116520, White 26320

well considering the 4s worked better than any android ive ever had, thats probably not a bad thing. i used to love my Samsung Notes and I used to think having to hrd reset the phones multiple times a day because they froze was just a normal thing with phones. then i finally got an iphone and realized how utter chit android in general was in comparison when it came to performance and reliability. yea android has some extra features but they are miniscule in importance when the trade off is a much better experience.

If you had to 'hard reset' a phone multiple times per day, you had a lemon. I have had Androids from the beginning and have yet to experience an Android where I had to constantly hard reset it. And I am not a typical phone user. I do many different things with my phones like connect to remote servers at work, run networking tools, and even set up my phone as a 'server' for DNS, FTP, etc using the "Servers Ultimate" program on the Google Store.
I admit the iPhones do work and work well for the average person. But let's not pretend that iOS is superior to the Android OS. There may have been a time where that was the case in the infant stages of Android. But IMO, the Android OS is far better than iOS. I still don't take away from the fact that iOS works well.
And from my experience, I have had more users that I support with issues with their iPads and iPhones than users with an Android tablet or phone.

really depends on how you define superior.
if you define it as android can do more than ios then sure
if you define it as less things but more clean/refined then i'd argue ios
agreed with more users having issues with ios but i'd say that's largely due to the userbase (99.9999% of elderly i help have ios devices and screw things up unbelievably well. ios isn't the problem in these cases. they are lol)MS, Computer Science

Maybe I'm just a cynical old man that refuses to see what the future can bring, but I honestly cant fathom the reason for needing a smart watch ... They will never be as aesthetic or as a timeless piece of classic like regular wrist watches.
With a phone being a mini-computer, having a smart watch is completely unnecessary.Sig line can't be a novel

Gotcha. That's one reason I like my monthly plan - I can upgrade or change my iPhone at anytime with my Sprint plan. Also, I am still on kevin durants FRAMILY plan so even with the monthly charge, I still pay less than almost all my friends with unlimited data/calls
Cons: Sprint doesn't work anywhere outside the urban areas lol

Tmobile Jump program is argubably the best service if you want to stay up to date. You pay 40 or 50 a month depending if you have the non plus or plus version for two years. If you like the phone that comes out next year, you can trade in your current phone and restart the two years, which you can do infinitely. I am just hoping that the X is available for the jump and not just teh 8
