T-Mobile has a Jump upgrade program, basically, you take a phone out on a 2 year Equipment Installment Plan where the cost is split on a monthly basis for 2 years.
After the 1st year, you can do a Jump upgrade, you get a new phone and as long as the phone your jumping from is in decent condition you send it back, and they wipe the remaining year off.
I average Jumping every year, the only time I stopped was when I was on a OnePlus 8T because they stopped selling their phones on T-Mobile, no other phone excited me except foldys but at the time it was only Samshits ridiculously skinny versions so I waited an extra year for the (at the time) rumored 0G Pixel Fold to drop.
Then I resumed my yearly upgrades to the 9 pro Fold and will again for the Pixel 10 Foldy (unless another root-friendly competitor starts selling on T-Mobile)
If you don’t keep a device for at least 5 years you have no real basis to talk about its issues though, like of course it’s fine when it’s basically brand new the whole time you have it
No sane person buys a foldy phone, unless they completely fix the issue of it breaking because it got folded.
Anecdotal of course, but my flip phone has been great for mental ver a year, and my friend has had his for a couple, but ymmv
I’m on my second foldy with no issues, first was 0g Pixel Fold and now the Pixel 9 pro fold
did you replace it, if you had no issues?

2 years on a foldable with no broken screens. It’s been a few years from the cracked screens.
