Ho yes. My phone is almost 9 year old. But I feel it significantly more than my laptop. The only reason it's usable is because I don't have google services and the only resource heavy app I run are two messaging apps. (5 years ago google maps was already struggling)
I wonder the difference in environmental impact between a 300€ laptop and a 2500€ one. Btw, the only time I've worked with a graphic designer, she had a 9yo thinkpad and was running open source software.
