I'm still rocking a 2020 era iPhone 12 mini. Runs iOS 26 just fine.

Bought my original cell phone - (NOT a smart phone) - for $10 in 2007. Tracfone with minutes purchased as needed. When 2g stopped working, they sent me a new 3g dumbphone free. When 3g stopped working (Jan 2022), they sent a 4g dumbphone free. Both times, they tried to talk me into paying to "upgrade" to a smartphone instead, but I said nope, just the free replacement for my old phone is fine. So if you don't count the forced replacements, I'm using the same $10 phone I bought in 2007.
