Right around a year and a half they start getting slow and not working as good.

It might be too conspiracy theorist for you but it's true, known, proven, admitted, and been fined for. Yet Apple, and others, continue.

We have Verizon! I didn’t know that. Might have to look into it haha although I do really like my phone!! And I also have too many pictures on it

And I swear they definitely do that!! Haha I think they’ve even admitted to it before. So you have to buy a new one haha

Put Google Photos on your phone. It's free (you can pay but you don't need to). Run it and it will upload all of your photos into their cloud (granted they now own your pictures much like facebook, photobucket, or any other site you upload pics to), and now you can access those pictures from any device, any phone, and ipad or tablet, any computer...literally anywhere with internet access.

Makes changing phones or other devices not such a big deal.

One thing i will say, if you use the free version of Google photos it will not upload the original picture, it makes them a smaller (remember it's free!) whereas that paid version uploads your pictures in full size.

I personally have never noticed a difference in picture quality after taking them between computers using Google Photos.

I know that they do it with cars too. Most are made with plastic parts for a reason. The parts are not made like they used to be

Yeah I just noticed that they would let us upgrade early and they never did it before for the past couple phones we have had. Maybe they have changed back to their old ways.
