This is anecdotal of course. But I was an Android user since the first Galaxy S until the Galaxy S7 (with Nexus and some others in between).
I don’t know if this is still the case but every single time I had one of the big updates my phone just started getting slower and slower, most of my phones got a crack in the screen, battery started draining really quickly. I couldn’t spend more than 1.5 years with the same phone without wanting a new one really bad.
Then I got my first iPhone almost three years ago, and I still have the same phone and I don’t feel a need to get a new one. After several major updates my phone still works perfectly (even better I would say). Battery is in 85% and still lasts a whole day.
Do I miss some features? of course, but the same would be true if I switched to Android, I would miss Shortcuts, Airdrop and other small features, plus at present time I can’t think of a big feature I’m missing from Android.
- fartcannon 6y agoApple was literally fined for slowing down older phones: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724 If you want your phone to last forever, you need to take control of it yourself. Get a Lineage OS compatible phone and ditch the play store. Not only will it be faster, the battery life will quadruple.

- triceratops 6y agoThey were fined for not telling people that they were slowing down older phones. It's a subtle difference. I'm not saying the fine was unjust, only that it doesn't reflect on the performance or quality of the product. Instead now we know that a simple battery change will restore the speed.
