Apple is prototyping a second new iPhone display, this one measuring around 6.4 inches, that could be destined for the 20th anniversary iPhone, according to a Chinese leaker. In a recent post on Weibo, the leaker known as “Digital Chat Station” said Apple is currently sampling two new display panels.

    Got a 6+ year old iPhone 11 here I use for work. What do you mean by “designed to break”?

    I use this all day long every day for emails, calls, yadda yadda and the only thing that’s a bit off is the battery holds less charge than it used to but all my phones have done that. I should probably just get the battery replaced.

    And Apple have confirmed it will run iOS 27 so it’s still supported for the foreseeable future.

    So I guess you don’t need to buy a new phone either if you don’t want to given yours is less than 2 years old?

          42% of upgraded iPhones are >3 years old,

          What are the statistics for phones that are >= 6 years old, like you?

          hundreds of millions of 5+ year old iPhones in use

          How many of those are the primary devices, like you are claiming to be?

          iPhone users keep their phones longer than Android users.

          A better comparison would be iPhones vs high-end/flagship Android phones.
