I used my iPhone 4 for 6 years. I was very happy with it and it was virtually indestructible. The battery was also pretty decent even after 6 years. The iPhone 4 felt like a device that "lasts forever", like some pre-smartphone devices used to be.
However, it did get slower over time more so than I would expect from a phone and became almost unusable near the end. Not sure whether it was OS updates, application updates, or what, but it was very noticeable. So I would agree with the grandparent comment in that respect.
If I used my phone a lot, I would have probably bought a new phone MUCH earlier due to how slow the 4 became.
