Same here. Beside phones that simply become outdated (slow, small storage, RAM fills up) or accidentally damaged, I had a Samsung Galaxy phone which wouldn't read SIM cards anymore, and then a Motorola phone which stopped being able to get a GPS fix. Both shortly after the 1 year warranty expires.

The result is I only buy cheap phones now (~200$), with the expectation that they'll last about a year. I have no idea how people can justify spending the price of iPhones and other flagships when they are apparently so expendable.
