I'm considering switching from Android to iOS because I don't want to throw away my phone once my 2-4 years of security updates are over. How do firmware updates factor into your thinking around Android and security? Is there a way off of the "buy a new phone if you want firmware updates" treadmill? (I don't expect you to have a solution, but I'm curious to hear how you're thinking about this problem.)

If your phone is old, you need to buy a new phone or live with a vulnerable device.
