Oldest phone you still use

6 Plus w/iOS 9. Still my favorite. I preferred iOS 8 but had to upgrade due to an app compatibility issue.
 
I still have my iPhone 5, although it's basically unusable since the battery discharges in like 3-4 hours and the power button doesn't work. The iPhone 5S I have is still in good shape but it mostly sits around as a backup.
 
I have some old phones around, but none that I really use anymore, so I guess my 7+. I used to use my Lumia 640 as an always available music player in my car, but now that I use just Spotify it's sitting in my retired phone drawer with a Galaxy S5 and an Xperia X Compact until a family member needs one or I need a backup.
 
I'm using an LG G3. It's my only phone. It does what's needed and pretty easily too. These phone processors are getting very powerful.
 
My Nexus 6 is starting to become slow and laggy after the 7.1.1

I mean to the point the keyboard lags while typing at times, like my note 4 used to before it got retired.
 
iPhone 5s until I traded it in a couple of weeks ago for a Samsung and it was working very well to the end. I understand that was the last iPhone model not systematically affected by throttling.
 
Mine is still a 4s 16gb I got in 2011 running 7.1.2 and a 5c 16gb I bought second hand running 9.1 which it had when I bought it. I refuse to update the iOS because of all of the complaints about slowing down. My next phone will be Samsung because I'm sick of being cornholed by Apple on their BS prices for memory. My 4s mainboard just failed and now I will limp my 5c along and when it dies or should I say becomes a diePhone I will move on to Samsung where I can use as SD card instead of always running out of grossly overpriced memory and not being concerned about updates slowing down my phone.

My oldest now is a 6S+ and a 6S.

My newest phone is my 256GB 7+ that I bought last month. I still have a Note 8 and a S8+ . The 6+, 7+ and Note 8 have active T-Mobile sims in them because I have three lines on T-Mobile.My 7+ is my daily though.

I forgot about my 5S, still works but I haven't used it as a phone in almost two years. I have a couple of SEs that are that size if I ever want to go small phone.
 
3G iphone that I use as an ipod - very cool Otter case.
4S use on a daily basis - semi retired - personal use still works great
6 main phone and used for business - battery is dying and debating a new battery vs new phone
 
My wife still uses an iphone 5 because she does not want anything newer.

I have a 256 GB 7+ that is a backup line to my daily use iPhone X. Also have a Note 8 that I currently use as a tablet but I may pull the SIM out of the 7+ and use it as a backup phone.
 
I still have OG Moto G. OG Xiaomi Redmi Note 8GB one. I also have an iPhone 5 occasionally powers on.

Nexus 6 and Huawei Honor 5X is frequently used phone.

My primary phone curtently is Huawei P10 and Mate 10. Also using Xiaomi A1 as well
 
The oldest phone I still use is my iPhone 6+.

I have so many old phones here that still work that I could go back to such as my Note 5, Note 4, Note Edge and 5S. I just bought too many phones in the last year, everything from Note 8, S8+ and two S7 Edges. My daily phone is my 7+ that I bought last month.

I still use the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo I bought after I sold my iPhone 4. I don't really like it, so I got an iPhone 6+ when it came out less than a year later (which I like it so much it still is my main phone). But it's still good as a backup and I like to draw stupid things with the pen. I would love the iPad 2018 and the Pencil for that, but I can't really justify the money.
