Check out Fairphone. Components including battery can easily be replaced. guaranteed software support for at least 5 years.

5 years? That's nothing. Is there any phone that doesn't give at least that?

I honestly believe the soy devs need to go to jail for making things artificially slow. What did they change in 5 years that makes it so that when you click an icon on the screen it's no longer instantaneous? The original Windows from 30 years ago could register a click without delay.

Although I agree with your sentiment, I don't think it's directly the fault of the OS devs. As devices get more performant, software frameworks tend to get more bloated. That's not exactly the same as making things artificially slow.

For the web for example, we first had plain HTML -> JavaScript -> JQuery -> React, and in every step, older devices keep having more trouble running things smoothly.
