To play devil’s advocate, my iPhone has already achieved 6y of updates and why would I pre-pay for fixes in the form of a warranty? (Right to repair issues aside, and I don’t say that lightly, just don’t think it changes the answer for the avg consumer)

And Apple are still shipping security updates for iOS 12 (last one a few weeks ago), so even the 8 year old iPhone 5s is still getting updated.

Same here. While I am not a fan of Apple because of the recent privacy debacle, my iPhone 6S is still working from 2014. I just updated it to the latest iOS 15 last night too. Other than the battery, everything else works fine in it.

  If you haven't done it yet do consider a battery replacement from Apple. It's $49 for a 6S, and it made a huge difference for me after about five years with the same phone. When I did it, I believe the replacement was able to be done in store while I waited. https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/battery-power https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/battery-powe...

    I have been considering doing it myself using iFixit or cheaper alternative. I am in Canada so after taxes and CAD, it comes close to $90 I think.
