Still have my 5; still as good as the day I got it.

My screen sensor died on that one.

What is that; the bit that turns the screen off when it's against your ear?

Basically you couldn't type words because the center of the keyboard quit recognizing touch.

Using it and loving it. Didn't like how big newer phones were getting, and was planning to get the 8, but was waiting for more reviews.... a lot more hesitant now.

Yeah I was looking at the 8 and am thinking I'd best leave it alone. I genuinely don't know what to get if this phone kicks the bucket. I don't really dig iOS and I've never had luck with brands like Samsung beyond a couple of years; seems like they slow down dramatically as was the case with my S9.
