How long does the iPhone 5 last?

How long does the iPhone 5 itself last? I'm not talking about the battery life! I'm talking about the device itself.
Also, what are some things I can do to allow it to last longer? I love my iPhone 5, and I want to keep it for a long time! It's like my little baby. <3 <3 <3

Its sad how new phones come out every year, and then you feel like your phone is old. Lol. But omg i totally agree with you. I would use a screen protector, and a good case that protects your phone.

Like barely 10 months. Don't get an iPhone again. Get Androids.

Could last over 5 years with proper care. That's simply all you have to do.

Umm I suggest an otterbox for the physical phone and for the software double click the home button and click and hold the apps that appear. A red dash will appear and you click it. No worries it keeps the app but closes it and saves more ram for your device to run this is known as closing multitasking apps.

It'll probably last for quite a while if you keep it in a protective case and screen protector. Just to be safer, buy one of those thick silicone cases that you get at an apple or RadioShack store, they're awesome.

Tech wise: Up to 2 or 3 years
Material wise: Really good care - up to 8 years
Latest and greatest wise: 1 or 2 years
