      I can replace a battery, that’s not an issue. I can’t realistically provide my own security updates.

          Chances are, I’ll replace the phone within 7 years, but I’ve run past the end of updates on almost every phone I’ve had so far, so longer is better. In fact, that’s why I’m looking to replace my current phone, I’m happy with how it works, just not happy with a lack of security updates.

            @sugar_in_your_tea Same here… Until now, I’ve pretty much used each phone until the batteries died or the phones stopped receiving updates. My current phone, “OnePlus 9 Pro,” is different, though, because I’m considering replacing the battery when it goes and using the phone long after updates have stopped. Having no security updates doesn’t really bother me because I don’t actually use my phone all that much, and whenever I do, I’m pretty careful anyway.
