I waited summer 2014-now. I could replace the battery and it did most everything I really cared about. It still works, and for those who haven't seen my playlist woes, still works much better as an mp3 player. The phasing out of headphone jacks really put me off getting a new one and no phone really grabbed me until the Note 20 Ultra. I had the Iphone 2010-4 (hated itunes), some kind of flip phone 2006-10, and a Nokia 2002-6.
It was annoying not having some emojis. The barf emoji, etc. would show up as a blank rectangle. However, a few of the 2014 emojis were better than today's counterparts, in my opinion.
