Many users wonder whether their phone actually needs replacing or simply feels slower due to normal aging. Performance changes often happen gradually, making the decision to upgrade unclear.
Modern smartphones are designed to last several years, yet battery wear, software updates, and growing app demands can slowly change daily experience.
