For all the talk about replacing these every 3-4 years, I think I'd be a lot less upset if every 3 years actually felt like an upgrade. A slightly bigger screen, a 10% better camera, less buttons? Why do I need a new one? Apple may be getting a lot of positive credit in this department, but, by and large, what's the difference between an 11 and a 13? The incremental hardware differences are so small it's easy for them to build on the same OS over time. Google used to be my go to, and the google devices especially because they were more "vanilla" android at the time. I left a few years ago because google branded devices were so similar to Samsung (Samsung even manufacturing many of the "Nexus" devices at the time) that the vanilla feeling was fading away. Is there even a "stock" android option anymore? I honestly can't say as I've just bought into Apple's stuff for overall device compatibility with my other stuff.
