"won’t launch until later this year."

A nail in the coffin for looking at a replacement phone this year.  Wait
until yet another major release of the OS (if you want the features).
Another nail is the EU forcing phone makers to return to [re]designing
phones to have user-serviceable batteries by February 2027, so maybe
about 2 years before I replace my ancient phone.
