    5 years would be fantastic. Mine last 2-3 at the most. People don’t realize how much they use their devices.

      Some people Are very heavy users, and as such should expect a little higher maintenance costs.

      I had my base iPhone 12 for 3 years and had 88% battery health before I gave it to my dad. I think that’s pretty good, and I used more than one full charge a day. He’ll have it at least another 2 years before needing a battery replacement.

      I’ll have my 15 pro for probably 5 years before giving it off to him, though I expect to replace the battery once.
