One plus one lasted me almost 6 years

Those older oneplus phone would last so much. Me and my brother baught oneplus 3Ts on the same day in october 2014 and we both baought new phones in augoust 2019 when both the 3T were still owrking (but the battery wont hold for more then 3 hours). IDK about my brothers oneplus 3T but my still works. and if your asking why we buy phones together then its because in israel there is a part of the country where there are no tax on stuff and we go to a vacation there once a years and we buy our electronic stuuf at that vacation

1. What phone do you have? 

2. How long have you had it?

 

3. Have any of your previous phones lasted more than 2 years?

4.How long have they lasted? (When did it cease to be used daily? Broke? Replaced? If you gave it to a friend, and it's still going, how long has it been going?)

1) iPhone XR

2) maybe 2 years

3) My LG G3 lasted about 3.5 years. It started having software issues. When you FDR the phone and it crashes during the setup process, that generally means bad things. I replaced that with a OnePlus 3T. I think the OnePlus phone lasted about 2 years or maybe a little over. It also started having software issues. So I moved to an iPhone XR. I still have the 3T as a backup phone incase one of the 3 phones on my account dies, as my parents are on my plan. Plus I use the 3T for site surveys when it comes to WiFi as WiFi analyzer doesn't exist on iOS.

1. iPhone 7 - Matte Black, 128GB. Looks pretty much brand new if I take the fairly scratched up glass screen protector off , my main problem is the charging port not locking anymore.
2. I got it in November 2017, so almost three years. Wow, it's been a while.
3. If by lasted you mean working, yes. If you mean that I was using them after 2 years, also yes (iPhone 4S).
4. My iPhone 4S still works, it's just got a small crack in the bottom right of the screen and the back glass is scratched up fairly badly. Then I got a Galaxy S5 which I dropped about a year into using it resulting in a badly cracked screen. Then I got a Moto X 2015 which I used for two years, that still works and looks fine today, except for the back rubber being a little worn out.

Are you sure they were 3T? It wasn't released until November 2016.

The first one, OnePlus One, was released in 2014.

I’ll start:

1. i have the iPhone SE (2016 release.)

2. I've had it 2 years. 

 

3. No.

4. All only lasted 2 years or less. They all broke. Most of them completely died.

1. iPhone XS Max

2. About 8-9 months

3. Yes and No. My iPhone 7 had a defect with the audio board, I did have it replaced once. I also had a 5S that I used for 2.5 years like my 7. I used my 4S for 3 years. 
 

All of my old iPhones, and my wife’s iPhones are still in use except the 4S.Our old 7s are at 83 and 86% still. Both 5S still work perfectly, but have not aged as well as they look. Well.. my kids beat them so they don’t look like when we retired them. Our 7s still look good and run iOS 14 just fine. I bought her the new SE in red 6 months ago, it’s running fine. Her battery is now at 98% while mine is still at 100%. Don’t buy a new SE unless you are not a power user.
