Is it really that much of a comparison? I think a more fair comparison would be an Android device with a similar update horizon. As far as I am aware, no such Android phone exists.

  Google promises 3 years of updates on Pixel devices.

Updates that slow down the phone. Apple has built planned obsolescence into the phone. Good luck repairing an iphone.

> the nearly 6-year old iPhone 6s How is the 6 years (non-user replaceable) old battery holding up?

  It's true that the batteries don't last 6 years, but they are perfectly user-replaceable for someone with moderate technical skills and a few basic tools. Here's a kit that has everything you need: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-6s-Battery/IF314-011?o=10 https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-6s-Battery/IF314-... Otherwise, Apple will replace the battery for $49 while you wait: https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/battery-power https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/battery-powe...
