Frankly, Android with just okay brands such as Motorola, is totally fine. I wouldn't call using such a phone "taking a bullet". It works well for everything. Maybe the camera is a little inferior (but if photography is your thing you should use a real camera anyway). For all the rest... it's just as good, for 1/4 to 1/5 of the price.
- judge2020 6y agoI still find the forced upgrade lifecycle to be horrendous. An iPhone 7 can still be updated to iOS 14 today, and assuming the battery has been replaced recently (which would be required for a long-lasting android phone as well) it'll work extremely well as a daily driver for everything short of 3d gaming (and even then, games will just turn down graphics settings to achieve acceptable performance). As far as I could find, the earliest phone that has Android 11 is the pixel 2 from 2017 (rip pixel 1) and outside of the pixel lineup, you're only guaranteed 2 years of OS updates if a phone is part of the Android One program[0]. Apple has its problems but their sole control of payments via the App Store is a huge incentive to keep maintaining iOS for old devices. 0: https://www.android.com/one/ https://www.android.com/one/
