Switched to iPhone permanently 3 yrs ago and the phones hold up super well. Went from a new 6s (they surprisingly had them new in 2019 still) to an SE 2020 and now on a 13 pro max. Did I need to upgrade that many times no, it was more of a sheer want for new features or in my current case the best battery life. Also software support is superb you’ll get updates for a while and the phone runs like it’s new even after a while. They only ever start to slow down if the battery’s total capacity drops significantly but that can be fixed with a new battery which is cheap.

I would imagine they'll stick to ~6 years purely for financial reasons. The longer they support older phones, the fewer new ones they're selling. I'm guessing they did some math to determine the optimum amount of time to support older phones without alienating users who would jump ship to cheaper Android phones.

Well, this subreddit is a class for itself. It’s the only subreddit I’ve been a part of where someone who admits their mistake but asks for genuine advice still gets downvoted like they’ve been trolling

Most likely account recovery. The family would know her email, and have access to her trusted phone number. This is they would need to start account recovery. Now they wait out recovery, reset the password and restore from a backup.
