About PhoneLifespan
Spec sites answer “what are the numbers?” — PhoneLifespan answers the questions that actually decide a purchase: How long will this phone last? Is it still safe to buy? What does it really cost me per month?
Why this site exists
Every phone has an expiry date — the day its security updates stop — and almost nobody shopping for a phone knows it. Manufacturers bury it, retailers never mention it, and spec sites treat a phone from 2021 and a phone from 2025 as equally valid purchases. The result: people spend real money on devices with eighteen months of safe life left. We built the site that makes the expiry date — and the real cost per month it implies — impossible to miss.
Why you can trust the data
- • Specs come from manufacturer documentation, never scraped from other sites.
- • Every support window links its source and shows when we last verified it.
- • We label every number honestly: an official promise when the brand publishes a policy, our estimatewhen it doesn't (Apple) — the full rules are on our methodology page.
- • Prices and policies are re-verified monthly; stale data gets fixed, not defended.
Who builds it
PhoneLifespan is built and maintained by Muhammad Tahir, a full-stack developer who got tired of watching friends and family buy phones that were already dying. It's independent — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any phone manufacturer.
