My iPhone 7s Plus with a LifeProof case is still going strong in nearly mint condition (despite the battery at about 85% capacity). Apple's building phones that last longer.
Also, I can't think of too many new apps I've installed lately or performance issues with my current ones. Hopefully at some point, the market will reward Apple for building reliable phones (I say that knowing about all the repair bulletins they've released these past few months...)
- nicoburns 8y agoTo be fair, my Samsung S7 from the previous year is also still running completely fine. Apple's competition are also building reliable phones..

- outime 8y agoApple’s competition doesn’t provide phones with many years of official software updates. This may be just fine for many people, but if you care about security, features... then it’s not reliable enough.

Plus, app updates are not tied to OS updates, so vulnerabilities in the browser and other built-in apps can be more easily patched. Would 5 years of OS updates be appreciated? Of course! But 4 years of security updates isn't so bad.
- zeroego 8y agoYou should get your battery replaced before the end of the year! They have been running a special to do that swap for $29. I bought an iPhone 7 used last month and immediately went to an Apple store to have the battery swapped out. Went from a battery with 86% to 100%. Hopefully the phone itself will last 3-4 years.
