Note: My current model is to buy a second hand iPhone - the previous years model for £400 to £500 - and use it until OS support is dropped.
For me:
- No carrier crapware installed
- Data backed up automatically and securely to cloud / easy to migrate all data from old phone to new phone
- Privacy / Security as a focus.
- OS updates for 4+ years
- Simple uncluttered interface by default.
- Can still get £100 for the handset after I’m done with it. It probably costs me about £100/year at my current rate.
I don’t want widgets etc. I don’t want customisation. I spend my day fighting with software at work and I want something that just does its job.
If an Android manufacturer guaranteed the above, especially the OS upgrades I might move. I did have a note 2 but the whole “you can do anything* as long as you root and void your warranty” thing didn’t click with me. Also the Android apps tended to be lower quality than the iOS equivalent, but that might have changed now.
