How long do you keep your phone before buying a new one? Do you replace it when a new model comes out or do you hold onto it until it's almost none functioning?

I've left, but I still visit sometimes!
When my contract finishes and I need a new one haha
I had my last one from 2013 until this year, going forward probably replace it every time the contract expires, so 2 yr.
whenever i lose one so used to be about 3x a year. had this one 6 months, doing well!

in high school i was notorious for replacing my phone like every 5 months... but i've had this phone for almost a year now and i'll probably replace it in a years time when my contract runs out
