Still running iPhone 8 (5 years old) like it’s brand new. Love that I get yearly software updates still. Maybe I overpaid at the time, but owning the phone for 5 years is a good return in my opinion. I owned a very stock android phone for 2 years and it never received an update…

Same with my pixel 3. Still running strong and a badass camera, no reason to upgrade.

Yep! Received a free battery update about 6 months ago because of it!

My battery health was below a certain percentage (75% I think). You can check that in settings. I think there was an option in there to request a new battery change service. Free of charge at the Apple Store.
