While I’ve had no issues with either my iPhones or Pixels there is one big difference, long term support. I got a Pixel 2XL and an iPhone XS Max back in 2018.

While I’ve had no issues with either my iPhones or Pixels there is one big difference, long term support. I got a Pixel 2XL and an iPhone XS Max back in 2018. The Pixel no longer gets major Android updates and hasn’t for over a year. The iPhone just got iOS 16 and will almost certainly get iOS 17. I know Google have said they will support devices longer and I hope that is true but who really knows with Google. They said two months ago Stadia wasn’t going anywhere too.

> I know Google have said they will support devices longer and I hope that is true but who really knows with Google. They said two months ago Stadia wasn’t going anywhere too. As part of their sales documentation they have said they will support software for 5 years. That's not something they can renege on without serious legal consequences. It certainly doesn't mean they're guaranteed to provide support for all future Pixel phones for that long, but it does for the 7.
