Could also buy a device that takes upgradable storage, if that's truly your bottleneck / the reason you're replacing the whole device. Current state of the art

  I can only do this because it is an iPhone. Android phones wont last more than 2 years (while still working decently).

    Not sure why you're getting downvoted when almost no Android devices get security updates after 2 years, sometimes even less. Without the custom ROMs (that Google is putting an end to through hardware-backed Device Integrity) you get left behind without updates incredibly quickly.

    Then you go back for warranty? Depends on the manufacturer and country of course but in the EU 2 years is the minimum and some member states extended that I once had a phone break just shy of 2 years and got it repaired, lasted three more years after and I only had to replace it because apps started to require a newer OS, the hardware was fine On the other hand, the iOS device I had for a few years at work broke part of the touchscreen just after 2 years (nice one, Apple, just out of warranty) and had a battery life that was bad from day one, but then I only use it twice a day for 2FA and the occasional call so it wasn't quite worth sending back YMMV... saying that any phone running a particular OS must have hardware lasting no longer than the minimum warranty period is beyond me. Well, except when there is only one manufacturer's monoculture of course
