Thanks for starting this question: I have to figure out a new usage pattern
We have two kids who also need phones, so ….
New iPhones every 2-4 years. The kids get the previous ones with a new battery. Adults get new high end (iPhone 15 Pro 256 GB), kids get a recent phone (13 Pro 256GB). This past one was only 2 years because the previous had been 4 and the kids old ones were trash - iPhones are good for 6 years. Cost averages out to not quite as bad as it could be.
However my first kid is in college, so we really only have one more shot, before we adjust to him being an independent adult
