Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?

As long as I need to, but it is definitely a relatively good reason for me to upgrade if there is a big sale or there is some other component that break.

For example I drived a oneplus 7T unsupported for around half a year before the sreen broke. So I never bothered to fix the screen and got a pixel (5 years of monthly update baby!).
