Out of date by who's standards? My husband is using an iPhone 6 that is almost 6 yers old. It does everything he needs, makes calls, texts, gps for traveling, music at the gym, etc. The battery is less than great now, and he can have it replaced for $30-50, depending on where he takes it.
It runs iOS 12 something, and still runs all the apps he needs. The longer you use such a device, the more economical they are. As long as they serve your needs, why upgrade?
Of course, we keep cars on average for 13 years, so we aren't the target demographic for the "new every 2" sales pitches. Come October 2020, I'll break my old record for driving the same car and hit 15 years in my 2005 Vibe.
