If I were not to use my iPhone 4s for a few years, would it still work?

I'm currently using a perfectly working Nokia. All of my favourite songs are on it. It's not the type of phone you would see on a teenager, as it's really old, but I just changed phones last month. I don't want to let a perfectly good phone go to waste just because I got a cool iPhone. So I've decided to use the Nokia phone. So... if I left my iPhone for a few years without using it, would it still work?

    I think it would work, but you might have problems with the battery after not using it for a long period of time. Also after about a year you probably won't get any updates and won't be able to download apps because the 4S is kinda getting old and might not be supported soon.

    It should be fine, you just need to make sure nothing happens to it (ex. Dropping it, leaving it in the sun, getting it wet). Hopefully in a few years, it gets used lol.

    The battery would deteriorate after a year or 2 but the phone itself would be fine.

    It would still work. Just keep it in a safe place.
