    Phones been ‘good’ enough for 15 years. Long before their cameras caught up. They just made new phones harder to fix so your forced to ‘upgrade’ or disable networks that bricked many.

      Having used phones 15 years ago, it wasn’t. There may be some cases where a phone could live on longer, but two years was generally a decent cadence to buy a new phone.

      Once you get to the 5-10 year mark, cameras on phones were generally good enough for most users.
