It's a shame this is being downvoted. I was also an early adopter of Android with the HTC Hero (Android 1.5/1.6), then the HTC Desire (Android 2.0) then the Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.2/4.3/4.4), but I got fed up of the support timelines too. I don't think my Galaxy Nexus even got an official update to KitKat (4.4). I got it via custom ROMs which were of questionable quality. Battery life and performance were also among my complaints. I eventually switched to an iPhone 6 in 2014 which lasted me 4 years and even then I only had to replace it because the storage capacity wasn't enough for me (16GB). The fact that apps have to ask for each permission also gave me the impression that iOS was more private/secure by default compared to Android. I know it's a moot point in current versions of Android, but it's still shocking to me that it took them so long to address the issue and that it even existed to begin with.
