The XR is working fine with iOS17. We have a bunch of them and they are performing well. We are no longer in the age of iPhone 4 or 6 where they get slow significantly in their later years. Even an iPhone 7 is still good. RAM and heat/battery are the bottleneck for these older phones, not the performance of the SoC.

So it's lo... moreLast time I use Android was Huawei P6 after 2 years it broke to no function at all. I try windows phone was Nokia Lumia 930 only last for 2 and half years before Microsoft decided to end its service. And lastly I try iPhone, my very first is iPhone 7 that still use till now as I already upgrade to 14 Pro, what a surprise those iPhone 7 still provide security updates last month I quiet impressed despite its battery already degraded to 63%
                            Like you said phones nowadays getting more durable and last longer. Likely no need to upgrade for quiet while.

So it's lo... moreOr maybe no more update support sometimes (lately most phone brand opting to go with 3 years which is actually the usual time of buying new phone), despite one head of the brand say update for 7 years is redundant.

                              As for brand, sometimes it is more into brand marketing blunders or people are getting smarter (like prioritizing RAM than body/camera).

                              I don't count chipset since there are still too many Snapdragon lovers.

For someone using cheaper android phones, they will be marked as poor and maybe bullied.

                                        Seems android fanboys enjoying this
                                        But later time when things turn into a flip table from enjoying turn into madness for fanboys
                                        For me better just grateful what I have. Reject fanboys for both factions between Android and iOS. It’s just a phone, nothing need to be fighting over it wasting time.
