Anyone rocking an older phone than me?

I have FINALLY had to upgrade my phone. Up until now I've been carefully managing my old Samsung S7 bought back in 2016.
I lost online banking as phone OS was too old.
I couldn't install several apps for the same reason.
Every day I got a message saying "you are dangerously low on space", so I had to clear the cache on all my main apps.
My phone case literally started falling to pieces around the phone.
But the phone soldiered on!! I am posting from it right now.
It gives me great pleasure to keep old things going like this.

Anyone still using a smartphone older than this?

I absolutely loath built in obsolescence, my iPhone 4 still works as a phone, but I can't use any apps on it anymore as updates are no longer supported. The world has moved on so much in terms of technology that eventually I had to get a more up to date version. My current iPhone, is a 5SE, but I'm aware it won't be supported for updates much longer. My kids both have Microsoft lumia smartphones, again old technology no longer supports any apps....but that's no bad thing, it means they can text and phone but can't get any social media😂.
