    I still have a Samsung that, between Samsung and the local provider, has had zero updates, ever. Still on Android 4.something, but I don't get Auntie Cindy's random screaming "alerts" either, which is a huge blessing. When this dies or they move to far up the Next-G ladder, I think I will just forgo having a mobile at all.

    Get an iPhone. Even models from 2015 (iPhone 6S) can still run the latest iOS 15. Go ahead and find me an Android from 2015 that can run version 12.
