iPhone 7, but I don't care about it.
Just ordered an iPhone 13 because my iPhone 7 is already 6 years old. I just want my phone to work when I need to take a picture or send a message in a hurry.

Re: Ask HN: What phone model do you currently own?
#22Used to have iPhones, but the forced obsolescence has driven me to Android phones. Last one was a Motorola Razr/V, currently an Oppo RenoZ. Probably the next one will be an Oppo as well. Middle of the range Oppos have 8+ core CPUs and 3+GB RAM so they are snappy. The cameras are Ok, not iPhone grade, but good enough for me. Samsung appear to be better phones, but at a considerable bump up in price. I tend to upgrade…
> Used to have iPhones, but the forced obsolescence has driven me to Android phones. Which forced obsolescence is this? The average iPhone support lifecycle is approximately 7 years. The average Android device lifecycle seems to sit around 2-4 years, if you're lucky .
Had my old android for 6 years. Really only replaced it because the battery got bad and the cost of a replacement was about the price of my current phone. But even then I'd expect something as expensive as an iPhone to have a longer support lifecycle. My current £100 Nokia is a bargain if it lasts 2 years.

#23Samsung Galaxy S8. It's affordable, the battery is good considering how much I use it. I don't need a lot of gigs so it works for me. If it kicks the bucket anytime soon I'll get a Moto.

#24LG G5, LG G8, LG V30, LG V50, LG V50S Reasons: God tier audio quality, SD card support, god tier fingerprint sensor, top tier all round camera hardware, god tier offical panorama & 360degree camera, god tier price/perfoemance, no nonsense lockscreen (omni direction swipe without swipe distance lowerbound) My next phone: Every phone is a downgrade from LG.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but your use of "god tier" so many times makes it seem like you're being paid to post that.

#25iPhone 8. Most apps still work fine although it's getting a bit slow. I am going to get a 15, mostly for the better camera.

Why would a dead company pay me to post stuff?

#27Samsung S20 ultra. It's been almost 4 years and it feel amazing. I replaced my Pixel when its battery got down to about 6 hours. Unfortunately the Pixel couldn't be fixed any more in my country.
Samsung is really popular here so I'm hoping if I just replace the battery when it gets bad it can last me 4 more years. It's honestly so nice.

#28Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene OS...
like the privacy dislike the call quality dislike the speaker sound, either too soft or too loud dislike the camera...seems to downres images sent via text.
the rest of the phone experience is awesome. Though im not so sure the main phone functionality being shit is a win... :/

#29Pixel 5. It's perfect. I broke one and bought another even though the 6 or 7 were out because I love the size.
I'd like an iPhone, but an OS without uBlock is a no-go. The web is unusable without it.

#30IPhone 7, still working but in its last breath. The only probem it has is the battery, it doesn’t last very long and I’ve already replaced it. Hopefully replaceable batteries will solve this issue in the near future, sometimes EU regulations are on point.
