Same. I guess I'm hard on my phones, because usually I start having microphones, speakers, and buttons start failing at about the 2 year mark. My last phone was still perfect at the 2 year mark, but I dropped it on carpet from 2 feet off the ground and the touchscreen didn't work anymore. I was leaving on a trip like 3 days later, so I didn't have time to get it repaired.
So I'm pretty consistent about getting a new phone every 2 years.
I usually get mid-range phones, though. Like the cheap ones from high end brands. My current phone is the entry level pixel 7, which I got for $500. I don't really mind spending $500 every other year.
