I had my 7 for two years. That baby was a trooper.

I know this is an iPhone subreddit; but you asked for the longest-lasting phone. My longest lasting phone was not an iPhone. It was a Samsung Note 3 which lasted 4.25 years.

It is, and your answer is correct, only idiots are downvoting you for answering correctly a question

Thank you.

Currently my Xs. 4 years later and outside of a much needed battery replacement, the phone has still held up for me. I do plan on upgrading to the 15 next year.

iPhone X 54 months aka 4,5 years
What trooper meant in this situation? 2 years is really your longest ?!?
Officialnoah OP t1_ixfd3nd wrote
It could’ve lasted much longer than 2 years. Only reason I switched was because I was young and was due for an upgrade
Beateride t1_ixfd9rl wrote
And are you satisfied with your 13 or are you already planning to buy a new phone?

6s Plus which was my first ever iPhone back in 2015. It’s been through a battery change but that thing blew past it’s 7th birthday. Close second would be my 8 Plus (5 years).
Anytime I’ve gotten a new iPhone, I’ve always kept the old one as a spare.

Well I'm still on my iPhone X, which I used since launched at the end of 2017.. so.. its been 5 years and hope it still continues to last.

Probably this one. Still going strong 2 years later.
Funny reading the 7 comments. That was easily my worst iPhone ever. Damn thing didn’t make it 2 years before complete system failure in every way possible. Started of with weird haptic feedback. Felt and sounded like a broken spring, then battery swole, phone split and bent, and eventually it no longer functioned. Also the only phone to completely die. The rest I just wanted a new phone.

iPhone X, 3.5 years. I was planning to buy a new phone two years ago, but I wasn't thrilled about the 12 (especially because 5G was new, and I knew it would have a better radio in year 2), and I wasn't traveling to a place where I'd want to have a better camera, so I waited until last year and upgraded to the 13 Pro.

So I had my iPhone X for 4 years and then passed it to my son. He used it for a year and it was still working but we traded it in for an iPhone 14.

Xs 4 years. Immaculate condition - my wife has it now after I replaced the battery for her when I got my 14Pro.

iPhone 7 for 6 years. I couldn’t call anymore because my mic is done (can’t do memos, calls and so on). Otherwise my iPhone 7 is very well

3GS. Mainly because I was in middle school and couldn’t afford a new one
Edit: scratch that. My iPhone 4 still works

Used my 6 for 3 years and still have it as my backup.
I have had an 11Pro Max now for 2 years now. Battery still at 100% health and plan to keep it for a while. Only downside is that I accidentally dropped it and there’s a crack in the back glass and was told by Apple that they won’t replace the battery when that time comes ☹️.

My 6s Plus lasted for 4 years before I got my 11 Pro Max which is my current phone. I would have kept the 6s Plus for longer but the issues with it kept stacking up (bad battery even with a replacement, camera making clicking sounds and not focusing, constant app crashing, headphone jack being very touch-and-go, and much more) so eventually I had to pull the plug and get this thing. I'll probably keep this current phone until it hits the 4 year mark as well just for consistency.

6s lasted 7 years for me

4 lasted me about 3.5 years. Most of the rest (5s, SE1, X) were about two years each, 12 Mini was one year, and 13 Mini I plan to keep as long as I can.

7 plus took it like champ. Finally died and pulled the trigger on my ultra fast super smooth IPhone 13Pro. RIP bud and thank you for your 6 years of pure MAYHEM.
