x86's long term survival depends on things out of AMD's and Intel's
hands. It depends on high volume access to devices people will buy
new every year or every other year. A PC is not such a thing, while
a cell phone seems to be.

so often.

My current phone is over 4 years old and it continues to serve all of
my needs.  Sans damage, the only reason I would choose to replace it
would be when critical apps no longer support the OS version.

My first cell phone (Galaxy 3) I got in 2012 and used it until 2022
when the service provider offered a zero cost upgrade because they
were loosing access to the 4G-LTE antennae. I did put in 2 new
batteries, and nothing was scratched or dented after 11 years of use.
I still liked it better than the Galaxy 12 I have now. ...
Oh and BTW:: I do not carry my cell phone unless I am traveling
or expecting a call. It lives in my office--probably why it is
not being damaged by being sat upon or dropped into water, and
other causes of cell phone death.
