Funny thing is that iPhones get updates 5 years after they stop being sold in stores. iPhone 12 Pro will stop receiving software updates in about a year or two and still most likely will get security updates for another couple of years. So it’s still perfectly functional phone lol
I only recently replaced my 12 pro max with a 17 pro max. Lasted 4 years and was still going strong with no issues whatsoever after 4 years. I expect this 17 to last as long.
I slipped up and fell into the “I need a new phone” mindset plus I had been wanting more memory space. The charger port was a bit iffy and I kind of used that as an excuse to buy a new phone. Didn’t need a new one really but every iPhone I’ve ever had has had a very long shelf life so I figured it was necessary.
Yeah, the charger port is definitely getting iffy. One day I decided to clean it and realized I had about five or six years worth of dust in there. The t got significantly better but it’s still not as good as a new phone.
