How often do you change a new phone?

[ensurance982]

I just wait until the need gets too high. I switch when the old phone becomes too slow because the latest OS or Apps get too demanding. I don't need the latest craze, only a decently working phone!

I have had my phone for 2 years now. Earlier I changed every two years, however this time I won't change until it gets unusable, and it still works good.
Saves money and the environment!

I change to a new phone every 2-3 years.

The older my phone is, the better quality it was. My first phone lasted 3 years. I used my current phone for 5 years, switched to another, then that broke after a year. I switched back to this one and have been using it for another 3 years. I hate new phones -- planned obsolescence at work.

I really don't buy that theory. I mean the theory of planned obsolescence. When it comes to printers or other equipment, for example: You used to pay a crap ton for the devices 10 or 20 years ago. The actual amount of money that went into the electronics and intricate stuff was still a lot. Now, the electronics, parts, etc. get cheaper every day. So the quality of the cases goes down (margin is shrinking). That way every part of a device needs to become cheaper. The quality suffers.

Not too regularly. Unless the previous one breaks or is completely unusable,I don't see the point of purchasing a new one every now and then,especially for basic feature users.

I only change if it goes broken.
My Phone at home is still an old nonwireless with those big numberkeys to press down. If the cable is long enough why not? 
And i have less electromagnetic radiation/electrosmog.

[luttelcoin]

Well I would change it every 3-4 years, but somehow it always takes me a year or two after that to actually posses it...
At that you could say it's broken.

I need a new phone every couple months. I live a very dangerous and active life, so my phone has to withstand a lot of things including, but not limited to: Shocks (physical, as well as electrical), water, dust, molten iron, sand, boiling oil. Even the sturdy iPhones can't stand those things forever...

[beegatewood]

As long as possible until the phone breaks...

[redHeadBlunder]

Roughly the amount of time it takes Apple to come out with a new iPhone.

[BIGbangTheory]

I drop my phone a lot so, every few months I will need a replacement.
